About the Track

Where science meets AI image-making

The AI Art Track invites researchers, students, and science communicators to express real science visually with AI tools — and to share the know-how behind each work. Every submission includes a short Detailed Statement, so the exhibition and catalog become a resource for the whole community.

🔬

Track 3-1 · Scientific Imagery & Research Visuals

Journal-style figures, graphical abstracts, data visualizations, structural or conceptual renderings of your research.

Track 3-2 · Science Communication & Outreach

Posters, infographics, outreach graphics, short science comics / cartoon strips that make science accessible to a wider audience.

Judging Criteria

How works are evaluated

Judges look for images that communicate real science clearly — and statements that let others learn from your process.

30%

Scientific communication

Does the image convey the science accurately and clearly?

30%

Shareable process

Is the workflow documented so others can learn and reproduce it?

25%

Visual craft

Composition, color, finish — quality as a printed exhibition piece.

15%

Creativity

A fresh visual idea or an unexpected way of seeing the science.

How to Submit

Four steps to enter

Submit one work per form. To enter a second work (max 2 per person), fill out and submit the form again.

01

Prepare one single-page A3 PDF

Portrait or landscape, image only, up to 100 MB. Your work will be printed at A3 for the exhibition, so aim for print-quality resolution (about 300 dpi).

02

Optional: extended content

If your work continues as a series or includes video/animation, place a QR code within your A3 artwork and paste the link in the form so we can verify it and use it in the catalog.

03

Write your Detailed Statement (English)

Four short sections, written directly in the form. Recommended lengths keep the catalog consistent:

Application & Purpose≤ 60 words
AI Tools & Workflow≤ 40 words
Process & Iterations≤ 120 words
A Researcher's Perspective≤ 80 words
