Competition entry and article submission is entirely free. Eligible entries include original articles, case series, case reports, technical reports and treatment planning studies.

All articles must be submitted and formatted via the template-driven, self-publishing Cureus platform. All submitted work must be previously unpublished. 

Reference limits vary by article type. For additional information on publishing with Cureus, please refer to our Author Guide.

Statement of Independence 

• Cureus Publishing Competitions are intended to encourage medical discovery, document clinical experiences – be they positive, negative, or neutral - and foster broader educational outreach through open access publication that is free to both authors and readers.
• Article submissions must adhere to the described “call for articles” and are open to any and all related manufacturer or vendor technologies.
• As a firewall to ensure objective and credible science, article selection, editorial review, peer review and publication are strictly independent of sponsoring company. 
• Winning articles are determined exclusively via peer review panel and community crowdsourced scoring. Neither sponsoring company, nor Cureus, can determine competition outcome.
