Future of Medicine Art Contest (FoMAC) Aims to Evolve Rural Medicine Through the Power of Art
Following its highly successful spring contest, open to high school students living in rural Alberta, The Future of Medicine Art Contest (FoMAC) is excited to launch their fall 2023 contest.
Open to post-secondary students, who grew up, or have roots in rural Alberta, the Future of Medicine Art Contest invites young artists to share their perspective through artwork for the chance to make a difference, be published, and win $1,000! An award of $500.00 will be given to second place, and $250.00 will be given to third place.
All winners will also have the opportunity to receive mentorship in their chosen healthcare field. This will be a chance for students to speak directly with practitioners in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, etc. to help support and plan their future.
Drawings or paintings will be accepted as long as they are submitted in the format described in the contest details. This includes using any medium (pencil, crayons, markers, digital illustrations, watercolour, acrylic, oil-based paint, pastels, charcoal, etc.) so long as it’s on paper, canvas, or 2D artboard.
Contest runs from October 10, 2023, to December 1, 2023. Winners will be announced early in 2024.
FoMAC welcomes artists to be creative in how they share your perspective about medicine and health care.
