Comic-style illustration promoting the BioC2026 Sticker Contest. The panels show a stick-figure character reading a sign announcing the contest, thinking of ideas inspired by Seattle (including the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, DNA, molecular structures, and evergreen trees), sketching a hex sticker design, placing the finished design into an envelope, and submitting it. The final panel reads “Submit by February 20, 2026” alongside a Seattle-themed hex sticker design.
