Inviting individuals to submit images (paintings, drawings, photos, digital art, etc.) that represent NIMHD’s vision: an America in which all populations will have an equal opportunity to live long, healthy, and productive lives.
First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded in two age categories: Teen (16 to 18 years old at the time of submission) and Adult (19 years or older at the time of submission). Prizes will be awarded for 1st place ($3,500), 2nd place ($2,500), and 3rd place ($1,500) in each category . Read the Official Rules and Requirements (PDF, 590 KB) for more information.
Challenge Goal – As part of the 10-year anniversary of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Institute is launching the Envisioning Health Equity Art Challenge. The challenge will raise national awareness about the prevalence and impact of health disparities and inspire further research on minority health and health disparities. In the United States, Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, underserved rural populations, and sexual and gender minorities (described collectively as “health disparity populations”) suffer higher rates of morbidity and mortality. The goal of the art challenge is to envision and express through art an America in which all populations have an equal opportunity to live long, healthy, and productive lives.
Challenge Theme – The theme of this challenge is envisioning health equity. Art submissions should reflect an America where health disparities based on race and ethnicity, geography, socioeconomic status, and sexual and gender identity are a thing of the past and where all populations have an equal opportunity to live long, healthy, and productive lives. Art submissions may focus on one or more health disparity populations or on health disparities overall.
