1. Submission Process
All participants are invited to submit up to three works for consideration in the "L'art in la Doua 2025". Submissions can be images, videos, or 3D objects/sculptures. The submission deadline is November 14th, 2024. Please follow the instructions below to ensure your work meets the requirements.
2. Accepted Formats
We welcome a wide variety of submissions related to science. Here are some examples of what you can submit:
Images
- Photos of experiments, experimental setups, or scientific tools
- Visual results from numerical simulations, models, or data visualizations
- Microscopic images, satellite images, or any scientific visuals that demonstrate the beauty of your work
All images should be in JPEG, PNG, PDF, SVG or GIF format with a minimum 300 DPI resolution for high-quality printing. The aspect ratio must be 1:1, 3:2, or 4:3.
Videos
- Time-lapse videos of scientific processes or experiments
- Animated simulations or 3D models
- Visual demonstrations of research, including machinery or experimental procedures
- Videos should be submitted in MP4 or AVI format. Make sure the video is of high quality, including both visual and audio elements if applicable.
3D Objects / Sculptures:
- 3D-printed objects, prototypes, or engineering models
- Sculptures inspired by scientific themes or processes
- Any physical objects that represent scientific tools or inventions
- For 3D objects, please provide high-quality images or videos of the object from multiple angles, these will be used for the jury's evaluation. Images should be in JPEG or PNG format, and videos should be in MP4 or AVI format.
Note: If your file is too large to upload directly, please provide a file transfer link (e.g., WeTransfer, Dropbox).

4. Descriptions
Each submission must include two descriptions:
Scientific Description
Provide a concise explanation of the scientific background of the work, written in accessible language. Avoid technical jargon, and ensure that non-specialists can understand the context of the work. Feel free to include any additional information you believe is necessary to help the audience fully understand the scientific aspect of your submission.
(Recommended length: 1,800-2,500 characters).
Artistic Description
Describe the creative inspiration behind your submission. Highlight the artistic choices you made and how they connect to the scientific elements of your work. This description should also be accessible to non-specialists. Feel free to include anything that will help the audience appreciate the artistic and scientific connection in your work.
(Recommended length: 1,800-2,500 characters).
The quality and accessibility of both the scientific and artistic descriptions to a broad, non-specialist audience will be taken into account during the selection process and for awarding prizes.
5. Selection Process
Submissions will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary jury composed of scientists and artists. The evaluation will focus on the artistic quality and the accessibility of the descriptions. Scientific merit will not be considered in the selection process.
