endoArt

Endometriosis affects 1 in 7* Australian women*, affecting countless lives – yours, your loved ones, or someone you may know. This often invisible chronic condition can leave people feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unseen.

Now is your chance to put the ME in endoMEtriosis and share your unique story, your voice, and your perspective. Through the power of art, we can highlight the real lived experiences, connect with others and build a stronger community to advocate for those living with endometriosis.

The endoMEtriosis Art Competition invites you to express your journey through creative expression. Whether you’re living with endometriosis, supporting someone who is, or impacted by it in any way, your voice matters. Your story matters.

Enter now

The 2025 endoMEtriosis Art Competition is officially open!

If endometriosis has affected your life, we encourage you to share your story through art. All skill levels are welcome – whether you're a seasoned artist, or picking up a brush for the first time, we want to see your story.

How to participate:

Create one piece of art that captures your experience with endometriosis. Be it the indescribable pain you can’t put into words, the triumphs, or anything in between. Let your creativity flow in whatever way feels true to you.
Tell us the story behind your art with a short audio or video narrative.

Accepted art forms include:

Paintings, drawings, photography, digital art, poetry and sculptures. Entries should not exceed 100cm x 100cm in size.

Our esteemed jury will shortlist winners based on the following criteria. All entries will be anonymised to ensure impartial judging and to ensure your artwork speaks for itself.

Creativity and originality: How unique and innovative is your artistic expression?
Emotional impact: How powerfully does your art evoke emotions and connect with the audience?

Win!

This is more than just a prize – it’s an opportunity to show the world the real, lived experiences of those impacted by endometriosis. Your artwork will be featured at the World Congress on Endometriosis, where hundreds of doctors, healthcare professionals, researchers and organisations from around the world will see your story through art. By sharing your voice in this powerful way, you’ll help shift perceptions, raise awareness, and play a key role in advocating for those living with endometriosis.
