2008 NSF / AAAS Visualization Challenge
Stop, Look, and Learn
An arresting visualization will stop us in our tracks. A revealing visualization will show us more the longer we look at it. But a winning visualization will do all of that…and help us learn something new as well. Create a science or engineering visualization that addresses all three of these elements and you could be one of this year’s recipients of the International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge awards.
Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge.
The 2008 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge is co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

The 2008 NSF / AAAS Visualization Challenge
Show us what you see: let us peer through your camera’s lens, stand over your drawing table, sit before your computer screen. Teach us what we don’t know: bend time and space, eliminate the noise, articulate the essential. This is your opportunity to create a science or engineering visualization that elegantly reveals and explains our world. This is your chance to achieve the recognition you and your team deserve. The 2008 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge is co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Awards categories include: Photographs/Pictures, Illustrations/Drawings, Informational/Explanatory Graphics, Interactive Media, and Non-Interactive Media.
