The Art of the Immune System Student Competition
La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) invites student artists ages 10 to 18 to enter the Art of the Immune System Student Competition.
LJI is a scientific research institute in San Diego where creative researchers and staff come together to solve big problems in the immune system. Scientists here study diseases such as COVID-19, Ebola, Alzheimer’s, type 1 diabetes, cancers, asthma, allergies and much more.
This art competition is a chance for local students to celebrate immune system research and to inspire others to see the beauty in science! Students may enter a work of art that represents any aspect of health or medical research. LJI staff are happy to work with educators in the sciences or arts who would like to incorporate the competition into their lesson plans. We welcome entries using any visual media, including digital art, sculpture and photography. The submission deadline is March 31, 2023, at 11:59 PM.
