Winners of BioArtAttack (2D) Award 2024 announced
Date: 8 Oct 2024
The BioArtAttack 2D award celebrates the combination of science and art in a 2D format to showcase careful observation of the natural world and the wonders of biology. The winning entries for 2024 have been announced.
An array of almost 900 vibrant and creative entries were submitted this year – one of the highest ever in the competition’s history – with six winners being chosen across the different categories.
An award was given to each of the two categories: one for paintings, drawings, pastel, chalk, or any 2D artwork of animals, plants, or fungi; the other a sub-category – known as the Nancy Rothwell Prize – for labelled specimen drawings.
The competition was open to young people age 7-18, split into three age categories (7-11, 12-14, and 15-18). Each winner receives £50 and all winners will be invited to an experience day at the Royal Veterinary College, London.
