FISH for THOUGHT

I love a good project.  Sometimes to get myself out a artistic funk, I need a small-scale, end-in-sight, easily-finishable project to get my juices flowing again.  The holiday food fest has put my food palate into a funk, and I’m hoping grilled lemon tilapia will solve that problem.  Maybe yesterday’s Shooz call and this next call will be the solution to the artistic funk.

Check out this Call for Entries for Magic and the Brain from the Los Angeles Brain Bee.  The Brain Bee is for high school students, but the art contest is for all ages.  There is no entry fee, and the grand prize is $500.  Take a look…

Magic and the Brain

Learn more about the Los Angeles Brain Bee!The Los Angeles Brain Bee invites artists from all areas of study to enter the Neuroscience Art contest. Artists are asked to submit their work on the theme: Neuroscience and Magic.  This theme is in honor of guest speakers Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde who recently published the book Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about our Everyday Deceptions.

Artists are encouraged to express their creativity to represent the relationship between the brain and magic.  Artists are encouraged to collaborate with individuals knowledgeable in neuroscience for factual detail and analysis, however their own interpretation of Magic and the Brain is acceptable without scientific validity. The objective is to highlight how deceptions of magic can parallel deception in our daily lives.

ELIGIBILITY:  All ages are able to enter.  Artists of all nationalities may enter.  Group entries are allowed but a single member should be nominated as the leader and their name will be used as the name of the Group.  Works presented need not be newly created.  The work may be a project consisting of multiple images or elements.

Learn more about Sleights of the Mind online!MEDIA:  Entries will be accepted in three categories:  two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital.  Entries will be evaluated on creativity and artistic qualities.

Learn more about the Los Angeles Brain Bee Art Contest!AWARDS:  Selected works will be chosen for the Los Angeles Brain Bee exhibits at Los Angeles City College, it may also be used at a Local Los Angeles Gallery ZZyzx Gallery of Natural Science and for other Educational Brain Events across the Los Angeles Area.  Cash prizes and certificates:  Top cash award $500, Smaller cash awards, Honorable Mention, Certificates of Achievement.

WHAT IS THE BRAIN BEE?   The Brain Bee is a program designed especially to stimulate high school students to learn about neuroscience; as such, competitors are required to be currently enrolled in a high school program – grades 9 through 12.  (Age limit does not apply to art contest competitors.)  No student is allowed to participate in more than one Local Brain Bee each school year, and students are only allowed to compete in the International Brain Bee Championship once.
