To enter the Lilly Oncology On Canvas Art Competition, you don't have to be a professional artist or writer. It's the sharing of the story that counts.
The six categories for submission are: watercolor, oil, pastel, photography, acrylic and mixed media. Mixed media is a technique involving the use of two or more artistic media - such as ink and pastel or painting and collage - that are combined in a single work of art. Your original art must be flat and between 9 inches x 12 inches and 18 inches x 24 inches. It must be accompanied by a narrative of up to 125 words.
