The SSO is excited to invite you to participate in the “Celebrating Surgical Oncology” design contest. This initiative aims to highlight the compassion, innovation, and life-changing care provided by surgical oncologists through creative expression.
We welcome all members, along with your families and patients, to participate in this opportunity. No matter your age or artistic experience, we encourage you to take part. This is about expression, storytelling, and celebrating the incredible impact of surgical oncology.
The deadline to submit your design is Friday, July 10, 2026.
