Do you love science? Here is a competition for you that combines chemistry and creativity!
Chemical elements are the building blocks of our world. They are pure substances, which can’t be separated into simpler substances and make up everything, including us! Many elements are essential in our 21st century lives and are used in modern technology, industry and medicine, as well as in our homes.
Discover the world of elements in this competition for school aged students. Investigate the elements, choose your favourite and create an artwork which shows how your element is used in the 21st century. Submit your entry to ANSTO to go in the running for a great prize!
All winning entries will be displayed in a digital gallery.
Check out our previous winning entry gallery for inspiration!
The Elements in the 21st Century competition will be returning in late 2026. Watch this space for updates!
