About the Challenge
Some of science's most powerful statements are not made in words. From DaVinci's Vitruvian Man to Rosalind Franklin's X-rays, science visualization has a long and literally illustrious history. To illustrate is to enlighten! Illustrations provide the most immediate and influential connection between scientists and other citizens, and the best hope for nurturing popular interest. They are a necessity for public understanding of research developments.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science created the International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge to celebrate the grand tradition of science visualization and to encourage its continued growth. The spirit of the competition is to communicate science, engineering and technology for education and journalistic purposes.
This year's competition entry deadline is September 28, 2012.
Judges appointed by NSF and Science will select winners in five categories: Photography, Illustration, Posters & Graphics, Games & Apps, and Video. The winning entries will appear in a special section of Science (with one entry chosen for the front cover) and be hosted at ScienceMag.org<http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?http://www.sciencemag.org/> and NSF.gov<http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/scivis/winners.jsp>. In addition, each winner will receive a one-year online subscription to Science and a certificate of appreciation. If you are interested in participating, please familiarize yourself with the Guidelines<http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/scivis/guidelines.jsp> and submit your entry using the online entry form<http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/goodbye?https://nsf-scivis.skild.com/skild2/nsf2012/registerLeader.action>.
