Cover art contest submissions are now open!

How excellent would it feel to have the science you performed showcased on the cover of the program book next year? We are excited to announce the Cover Art Contest for SB3C 2024!

If you are interested in showcasing a visual aspect of your research (e.g. a photograph of an experimental setup, an image from your analysis, technical diagrams, or other art derived from your research), we are seeking submissions now!

Deadline:

March 19, 2024, 11:59pm PT

Eligibility:

Your submission must be directly related to an accepted abstract that you are a co-author on. Abstract acceptance will be verified internally when final programming is complete in Spring of 2024.

Submission Format

  • Your work should fit a standard page (8.5″ x 11″) but does not have to take up the whole space, 300 dpi minimum
  • Both color and black and white submissions are acceptable
  • Minimal text (i.e. plot axes are ok, but names, faces, affiliations and other notations must be obscured or removed, obscure any brand names and logos from your images, failure to adhere to this may lead to rejection of your cover art submission)
  • The program committee reserves the right to use a portion of your submission if needed for aesthetics

What to Submit

  • Your cover art image (vector formats like .eps and .png are ideal, but pdf files and other common image file types are also acceptable)
  • You and your co-authors names and affiliations (this should match the information in your abstract submission)
  • Your accepted abstract number and title
  • A brief (1 paragraph) caption describing what your cover art shows (this and your author names and affiliations will appear in print inside the program book)
  • A copy of the Confirmation and Release for Cover Art Contest signed by the presenting author of the related abstract
