New information for the 2013-2014 Calendar below.
For those who may be interested, we received information about a Call for Artists from someone at the American Cancer Society of Clinical Oncology. Also, there is no fee to submit artwork!
I work at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), a non-profit organization representing physicians who care for people with cancer. I would like to inform you that ASCO is currently seeking artwork submissions for our annual Expressions of Hope wall calendar. Cancer has a profound effect on all the lives it touches, and we invite anyone who has been affected by cancer – patients, friends, families, caregivers – to share their emotions through art and inspire hope in others.
More information can be found below or by clicking here. To complete your official entry, you must also submit the artwork submission form (PDF).

This is so awesome!
I’m a Psychology and also a School Counseling student and very much interested in Art Therapy. I have always used creativity/art to express and heal myself and I would -love- to help others through the use of Art Therapy.
My dad passed away from cancer last year and I would like to submit an artwork but it’s not clear to me if you have to be a U.S. citizen to be able to participate. I’m from Aruba and currently living/studying in the Netherlands. I would like to know if it’s possible for me and my sister to participate. Thanks in advance for the info 🙂
Art Therapy is awesome and would love to be a part of this forum and would like to subscribe to receive regular e-mails and information from you.
I do lot of painting in my free time and would like to contribute for the good cause. Please let me know if I can submit my art work from India as I live in Mumbai in India and whether it is open for participants from other countries as well. i was introduced to Art Therapy by my friend on Facebook.
ASCO is happy to review artwork submissions for the Expressions of Hope calendar from anywhere in the world. Thanks to the Art Therapy blog for spreading the word about our calendar and for everyone’s comments!
Best,

How many pieces are allowed to be submitted? Also, is there an ideal dimension for canvas size? Thanks!
Are you asking for physical artwork as well as high resolution digital images?!
