Illustraciència is an illustration contest organised by the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid and the Catalan Association of Science Communication in Barcelona.
Their goal is to promote scientific illustration in all its forms and reward the work of scientific illustrators through the call for the International Award on Scientific Illustration. For each edition, an itinerant collective exhibition and a catalogue with the 40 selected works are made.
There are two categories:
• Scientific illustration
• Naturalist illustration
The subject of the illustrations must be related to science or nature and the technique is free. The work must have been created between January 2020 and March 15, 2021.
Each participant may submit only one illustration.
There is no entry fee.
Eligibility
Open worldwide to illustrators over the age of 18.
Prize
The winner in each category will receive 600 EUR (approx. 725 USD).
