Abstract
While the KM3NeT neutrino detector is being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea, the Collaboration
launched a contest searching for illustrations of the neutrinos it will detect. The participants
in the contest were invited to submit their interpretation of a neutrino, using any technique. More
than 500 drawings were submitted from sixteen different countries. The winners were selected
by a jury of scientists, artists and science communicators based on the originality and creativity
of the drawings, as well as the harmony with the properties and origin of the neutrinos. After
announcing the results in an online ceremony with a large international audience, the winning
drawings have been put on display in a dedicated KM3NeT Virtual Neutrino Art Centre. In this
contribution, we will explain the motivation for the contest and will describe how it was organized.
We will also show the winning drawings and present the results of an impact study carried out
during the contest.
