The Science & Math-based Art Contest is an international competition, with its first successful round culminating at the 2011 Next Big Idea Festival. Artists from around the world are called on to creatively demonstrate a scientific or mathematical concept, principle, or phenomena through artistic media of their choosing including digital, drawing, photography, sculpture, performance, painting, fiber arts, etc.
