Antibiotics symbol contest

Design contest for global Antibiotic Resistance Symbol

The Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections (EU-JAMRAI) launches a design contest to find a symbol of the threat against antibiotic resistance. This contest is not about creating another logo, but finding something tangible that anyone can make at home and everyone, anywhere can wear; like the AIDS ribbon. The contest is open to individuals no matter their background or age.
