This picture competition asks you to envision a world after antibiotics. We encourage students and researchers to showcase their critical perspectives visually and creatively through photographs, graphics, drawings or paintings.
Submitted pictures must communicate or visualise dimensions related to the diminishing effectiveness of antibiotics or a world where antibiotics have stopped working due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We also encourage pictures that reflect on the impact of antibiotic use and AMR not only on humans but on nature, microbes and animals.
Your submission should captivate viewers and initiate dialogue. You may include a QR code linking to your relevant research to provide a deeper understanding of your work, but this is not a requirement.
We accept pictures with a short description (max. 100 words) of what you want to emphasize. The 10 best pictures will be exhibited at the HumSam library at the University of Oslo in November 2023 as part of the World AMR Awareness Week.
Submission Deadline
Pictures must be submitted by October 20, 2023.
Prizes
The 6 best pictures will be awarded a gift card of 500 kroner each from the bookstore Akademika, which can be used in Akademika’s physical stores across Norway.
