"They say a picture is worth a thousand words, because images often tell an entire story. Visual thinking is an important part of engineering design, so this year we are trying something new with the EngineerGirl Writing Contest. We would like you to use art to express how engineers create a better world! Submissions should also include a written artist’s statement that explains how the artwork demonstrates that contribution. In addition to the showcase of winners, where possible, winning submissions (or portions of the winning submissions) from this competition will be featured in the background of the EngineerGirl website!"

Would you like to participate in the 2026 Writing Contest: The Art of Engineering? The contest will close at 11:59 PM, February 1, 2026, U.S. Eastern Standard Time. All entries, regardless of how they are submitted, must be received prior to this date and time to be considered.

To check out the details or submit an entry, visit their website HERE!
