In order to recognize the beauty and creativity of artistic renderings emerging from the neuroimaging community, we are launching the second annual Brain-Art Competition.

Countless hours are devoted to creation of informative visualizations for communicating neuroscientific findings. This competition once again aims to recognize the artistic creativity of our community that often goes underappreciated in the publication process.

We are inviting researchers to submit their favorite unpublished works for entry.  Both team and single-person entries are welcomed. The competition will have five award categories:

1. 1)Best Representation of the Human Connectome
   

2. 2)Best Abstract Brain Illustration
   

3. 3)Best Educational Brain Illustration
   

4. 4)Best Humorous Brain Illustration
   

5. 5)Best Video Illustration of the Brain
   

Winners will be announced on June 11th during the 2012 OHBM Annual Meeting in Beijing. Location to be announced.
