PLoS Medicine Call for Cover Artwork 
The Public Library of Science is looking for original cover art for its new high-profile medical journal, PLoS Medicine. We are seeking contemporary artwork that illuminates an aspect of medicine or health from a cultural or global perspective. We are calling on artists from all around the world to submit proposals for review. Your artwork will gain exposure to the global medical and scientific community, and will be seen both online and in print. Your artist's statement will be published the issue. Please send a preliminary sketch of the artwork for review, along with a brief description or statement of interest, to: If you wish to have your materials returned to you, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Works will be selected by the journal editorial staff, and selection will be in part based on the willingness of the artist to work with editorial staff in meeting requirements and deadlines. PLoS offers no compensation for preliminary entries or unsolicited material. Selected works will be compensated at US$500. The dimensions of the artwork when reproduced on the print issue cover are as follows: Here are some suggestions for subjects within medicine and health: disease (including viruses, bacteria, and other organisms that produce disease), illness, birth, ageing, family, community, athletes, pain, treatment, healing, natural medicines, anatomy studies (e.g., beautiful interpretations of organs), and art inspired by medical symbols (e.g., aesculapius and caduceus) or ancient medical writings and illustrations. In addition to the sample cover image above, with "SARS bird" image, here are a few more examples of artwork themes that might be appropriate: |
