About the Contest

The Rheumatology Image Library is a highly accessed teaching resource. However, images showing manifestations of rheumatic disease on skin of color are under-represented, creating a significant educational gap. The 2021 Image Competition, held in conjunction with ACR Convergence 2021, encouraged the global rheumatology community to submit images that will help healthcare providers identify rheumatic disease manifestations in skin of color. Here, we depict the image selected as the Best Overall. In coming issues, we’ll publish the People’s Choice and winning images from six regions across the world.
