Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 
(Eurographics Medical Prize) --  Deadline extensions

New Submission Deadline: February 19, 2021
Updated Notification: April 2, 2021
Camera-Ready: April 23, 2021
Talk at Conference and Award: June 14-18, 2021

The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to 
acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization 
techniques in medicine and life sciences, 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 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, in 2007 and 2009. Before, the prize was co-located 
with the Eurographics Conference. Since this year, it will be co-located 
with EuroVis and it is broadened to include contributions in life 
sciences.

==Call
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and 
Life Sciences 2021 are being invited from researchers and developers, 
who can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical/life sciences 
application has resulted from the use of visual computing technology 
that they have produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas 
of visual computing---examples include the use of new data visualization 
techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. 
Entries typically summarize a body of research and/or development that 
has been conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and 
weight is put on demonstrating the medical/life sciences impact of the 
work.

==Winners
The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual 
Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 will receive a prize and 
their submission will be published in the "Short Papers and Medical 
Prize Awards" digital media proceedings, and in the EG Digital Library. 
The judging panel will select the winning entry, based on its 
medical/life sciences value, use of visual computing methods, and 
novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present 
their results at EuroVis 2021, which means that at least one author of 
each winning team must register and attend, to present the results.

The Hall of 
Fame<https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/other-eg-awards/dirk-bartz-prize-for-visual-computing-in-medicine/>
