Global Unity: Creative Competition for Medical Students

MEdIC at Imperial College London (Medical Education Innovation and Research Centre) is welcoming submissions for the Global Unity Creative Competition 2021. Medical students from around the world are invited to submit their creative responses on the theme of Global Unity. Students may submit creative work including painting, drawing, sculpture, illustration, graphic art, comics, photography, textiles, short film, animation, music and spoken word. We also ask that students submit a short written reflection detailing why they have made the piece, what it means to them personally and how this reflects the theme of global unity. 

Two winners will receive the top prize of £300 and two runners-up will each receive £150. Winners and runners-up will be announced at an awards ceremony in October 2021.
