Scientific art contest

The Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg (FJSL) is hosting its first-ever scientific art contest, inviting primary school children in Luxembourg to explore the connection between science and art. Participants will choose a scientific question (fundamental science) or a real-world problem (applied science) and illustrate their findings or solutions. Each student will create a project on one A3 sheet of thick white paper in landscape format, divided into two A4 halves: the left for the question/problem (written + illustrated) and the right for the answer/solution (drawn + explained). All hand-drawing tools are allowed, along with short explanatory text in English, Luxembourgish, French, or German, diagrams, sketches, and collages that add aesthetic value without replacing the drawing. AI tools are permitted only for brainstorming. Submissions must be anonymous, with a code provided by the school coordinator. School coordinators are responsible for collecting and delivering drawings to FJSL Headquarters by December 15, 2026. An independent jury of young scientists will evaluate submissions based on originality, scientific rigor/creativity, clarity, and aesthetic quality. All drawings will be showcased during the 2026 National Jonk Fuerscher Contest on March 13–14, 2026, at Forum Geesseknäppchen, where winning students will receive special surprise prizes.
