Fifth Annual GME Art Contest
Submission Deadline: November 13, 2026
The HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine is sponsoring its sixth annual art contest for all HCA Healthcare employees and affiliates. We encourage the artistic endeavors of our colleagues, and this contest is a celebration of your creativity.
Your submissions will be judged by a panel of your peers. Your work could be eligible to be published in a future issue of the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine’s Humanities section (Eligibility requirements for publication must adhere to journal policies.).
Submissions should be original, amateur works inspired by, but not necessarily representative of, the practice of medicine from any perspective: clinician, caregiver, researcher, teacher, learner or patient. We are not accepting submissions created by artificial intelligence. If you are selling or intend to sell the work, please do not submit it to the contest.
The contest will accept submissions from a broad range of artistic media: photography, sculpture, painting, textile work, video, music, prose and poetry. We are not accepting submissions created by artificial intelligence.
You can see last year’s winners and few other submissions here: 2025 Art Contest
Artists must also submit a statement of no more than 250 words that explains the connection between the work and their experiences in medicine. It could explain how the work relates to medicine or how the practice of their art is a strategy to maintain wellness. Submit your work(s) here: 2026 Art Contest Submission Form
