4th Annual QIAGEN-sponsored Microbe Masterpieces & Chemistry Creations Art Contest

It’s that time of year — time to unleash your artistic creativity!

Officially kicking off on September 1 in celebration of Public Health Laboratory Appreciation Month, join us for the 4th Annual QIAGEN-sponsored Microbe Masterpieces & Chemistry Creations art contest to showcase your artistic skills and win some prizes!

Create artwork that reflects your public health laboratory work: a microbe, microbial colony, biochemical analyte, chemical agent, anything! Sketch, paint, sculpt, bake, knit – use any technique you like. Anyone who works for a local, state, federal or territorial public health laboratory is eligible to enter (including environmental, agricultural, veterinary and food safety labs). Public Health Laboratory Fellowship and Internship Program participants are also eligible. Check out last year’s winners on APHL’s Facebook page!

The art contest kicks off September 1 so get ready! Send a photo or digital copy of your entry by midnight UTC on September 30 to [email protected] Please include your name, organization and shipping address with your submitted entry. Every entry gets a submission gift! Winners will be chosen in three categories and will choose either a QIAGEN Gut Check board game or a t-shirt as their prize:

• Most Creative
• Most Realistic
• Most Inspiring

A Grand Prize Winner will win a catered lunch for you and your colleagues, a gift basket of QIAGEN giveaways and a mural of all collected artwork.
