🏆Prize pool – 50k
Petri Plate Art is a unique and interactive event where participants get to express their artistic side using microbiology-inspired themes. Using Petri plates as canvases, participants will create life science-related illustrations, ranging from microbial colonies to DNA structures and cellular designs. This event not only highlights the beauty of microbiology but also fosters creativity, scientific curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the microbial world.
Microbial art is an innovative form of expression that merges science and creativity, allowing participants to visualize the invisible world of microorganisms tangibly and aesthetically. By using different bacterial and fungal strains, each with its unique pigmentation and growth pattern, participants will craft visually stunning designs that reflect various aspects of life sciences. Whether it’s the intricate structure of a DNA double helix, the mesmerizing swirls of bacterial colonies, or abstract representations of microbiological concepts, this event will be an extraordinary fusion of art and science.
