Fractal Art Contest: Mandelbrot Tribute

Mandelbrot Tribute Contest




_{Benoit Mandelbrot, 20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010}



The genius mathematician who discovered and brought to the attention of the world the art and geometry of fractals, Benoit Mandelbrot, passed away last month. In tribute to him and his work, and in celebration of his life, we are holding an official Fractal Art Contest.


To enter the contest, entrants should make a fractal
artwork, new as of November 3rd, featuring the Mandelbrot Set. At least one clear  Mandelbrot must be visible and prominent. Entries will be judged on how innovatively and aesthetically you can present the Mandelbrot Set.
