The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development. Originally called "Eurographics Medical Prize”, the competition was renamed to "Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine" in 2010 -- in honor of Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the Eurographics Association and Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009.
