For the 5th anniversary edition of this competition, nanoart21.org will provide 3 high resolution monochromatic electron scans of nanosculptures created by Cris Orfescu (www.crisorfescu.com and www.absolutearts.com/nanoart). The participating artists will have to alter the provided image(s) in any artistic way to finish the artistic-scientific process and create NanoArt work(s). The artists and scientists are strongly encouraged to participate with their own images as long as these visualize micro or nanostructures.
