visualization challenge

[James Kinter]

Dear GrADS Users - The U.S. National Science Foundation and Science
magazine have announced a science and engineering visualization
challenge. High-quality, innovative visual communication entries are
solicited by 31 May 2006. A short summary of the competition follows:

"The ability to convey the essence and excitement of research in
digitized images, color diagrams, multimedia and animation has given
researchers the perspective needed to set new research directions and
equipped other citizens to see and understand complex science concepts.

"The National Science Foundation and Science, published by the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, invite you to
participate in the fourth annual Science and Engineering
Visualization Challenge. The competition recognizes scientists,
engineers, visualization specialists, and artists for producing or
commissioning innovative work in visual communication.

"Judges appointed by the National Science Foundation and the journal
Science will select winners in each of five categories: photographs,
illustrations, informational graphics, interactive media and non-
interactive media. The winners will be published in a special section
of the September 22, 2006 issue of the journal Science and Science
Online and on the NSF website. One of the winners' entry will be on
the front cover of Science. In addition, each finalist will receive a
free one-years' print and on-line subscription to the journal Science
and a certificate of appreciation."

I thought some members of the GrADS user community might be
interested to submit entries. Please see the web site:
