AstraZeneca Biology in Abstract Challenge

Description

The Biology in Abstract Challenge is an open call to US-based artists to create an abstract artwork representing the power of two medicines working together to fight cancer. Many of us have been impacted by cancer in some way; the Biology in Abstract Challenge aims to bring a new perspective to what can usually only be seen under a microscope.

The winner will receive a $3,000 cash prize, and AstraZeneca will donate $10,000 on behalf of the winning artist to a charitable organization dedicated to cancer research and providing patient support. The winning artist can choose one of the following charitable organizations:
• American Cancer Society
• Conquer Cancer
• Project Athena
• American Association for Cancer Research
