endoMEtriosis Art Competition

2026

Behind the Brush: The Story of endoMEtriosis Art

Up to 1 in 7* Australian women+ are living with endometriosis, affecting countless lives - yours, your loved ones, or someone you may know. This often invisible chronic condition can leave people feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unseen.

Now is your chance to put the ME in endoMEtriosis and share your unique story, your voice, and your perspective. Through the power of art, we can make the invisible visible by highlighting real lived experiences, connecting with others and building a stronger community to advocate for those living with endometriosis. 

The endoMEtriosis Art Competition is returning for 2026, and you're invited to express your journey through creative expression. Whether you’re living with endometriosis, supporting someone who is, or impacted by it in any way, your voice matters. Your story matters.

By contributing to the endoMEtriosis Art Competition, you’ll become a catalyst for change, helping to drive national conversations and action for more inclusive, supportive workplaces for people with endometriosis.
