The IMD Mascot Art Contest is now open!
The International Microorganism Day is growing, and our mascots need some help!
We are officially opening submissions for the first Mascot Art Competition. All you need to do to participate is to create an original digital design of your favourite microbe (JPG or PNG file; at least 1080 x 1080 pixels) together with a name and simple explanation of your work to intmicroday@outlook.com until the 31st of July.
The winner will be announced on August 15th and the new mascot will already be hosting the IMD 2021 edition! The winner can also expect to receive a certificate and a box of FEMS and IMD goodies!
However, beware: our current mascots enjoy their uniqueness, so we encourage you to submit applications inspired by other microbes other than Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, and Bacillus.
Here we leave you the full designs of the three existing mascots for inspiration.
Best of luck to all participants!
