CALLING ALL TALENTED YOUNG ARTISTS!

JPIDS is soliciting artwork submissions that will illustrate the covers of our journal, JPIDS. We are looking for submissions that demonstrate unique artistic vision and creativity with a theme that relates to pediatric infectious disease.

Instructions:

Please submit a high quality electronic version of the artwork as a .gif, .tiff, or .jpeg file and include the following information:

• The title of the artwork.
• The artist’s name, a parent/ guardian’s name, a parent/ guardian’s email address, telephone number, age at the time the artwork was created, the name of the local academic medical center, a less than 25 word description of the artwork, and the artist’s inspiration for creating the artwork.

Send submissions as file attachments to the JPIDS Editorial Office (jpids.editorialoffice@oup.com). Please contact Annabelle de St. Maurice (ADeStMaurice@ph.lacounty.gov) with questions.

Artwork completed by individuals less than 18 years at the time of composition may submit artwork. Please do not submit original artwork.

Deadline:

Accepted on a rolling basis.

Selection Process:

Submissions with identifiers removed will be reviewed by the JPIDS editorial board. Parents/guardians of the child with the selected artwork will be asked to sign a copyright release form. The artwork selected will be printed on the front cover of the journal and a summary of the subject of the artwork and pediatric infectious disease relevance as well as the artist’s name and hospital affiliation will be printed in the corresponding JPIDS issue. Winners will also receive a print copy of the issue where their artwork is featured. Multiple Submissions: An artist may submit more than one piece at a time. However, only one piece will be selected for any one artist. Previously published work cannot be accepted.
