About
This competition celebrates and highlights the benefits of combining art and science. The terms and conditions of the BioArtAttack (2D) 2023 competition are available. This 2023 competition is a new drawing and painting competition for children aged 7-18 years old to draw or paint their favourite animal, plant or fungi.
