About This Year's Challenge
Science Magazine and the National Science Foundation are pleased to present the winners and honorable mentions in the sixth annual International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge.
This year, the contest drew 181 entries from 20 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and 20 countries.
The winners -- in categories including photography, illustration, informational graphics, and multimedia -- captured the crystalline beauty of diatoms, the expanse of the human circulatory system, a fairy tale tea party re-invented, and the dynamic life of a plant cell.
