The 2023 schools and community brain art competition, part of the 2023 Bristol Neuroscience Festival, which coincides with the 20th anniversary of Bristol Neuroscience, is being run by Bristol Neuroscience in partnership with the Royal West of England Academy (RWA).
The festival, which will run from Thursday 2 to Saturday 4 March 2023, will be a celebration of neuroscience research and the organisers are looking for artwork that is brain related. Judges will be hoping to see work inspired by 'Connections', the topic of next year's British Science Week.
Entries will be judged on originality and creativity, with judges looking for an imaginative response to the theme. The deadline for receipt of entries is 13 February 2023. Any entries received after this date will not be considered.

The culmination of the festival will be a public talk by Professors David Nutt, Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College, who set up Bristol Neuroscience in 2003, and Emma Robinson Professor of Psychopharmacology at Bristol. They will discuss current research on psychedelics and their role in treating mental health disorders. Details about how to book for the free talk will be announced in the coming months.
