The University of Florida’s Marston Science Library invites all UF faculty, students and staff to submit artwork to its second annual “Elegance of Science” contest.

This contest, sponsored by the Marston Science Library and the UF Alumni Association and its partners the UF Health Science Center Libraries and the UF Architecture and Fine Arts Library, will showcase research at UF  in an imaginative and unique format. Current faculty, students, staff and UF alumni are invited to submit artistic 2-D representations of their scientific research. A panel of judges will award cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place as well as an Alumni Prize to entries that creatively merge science and art. The submission deadline for artwork is Dec. 21.

An open house and awards reception to honor the winning artists will be held in the Marston Science Library during the beginning of the Spring 2010 semester. Winning entries will be displayed at the Marston Science Library, the Health Science Center Library and on the contest Web site throughout 2010.
