The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization techniques 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 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 collocated with the Eurographics Conference, and since this year it will be collocated with EG/VGTC EuroVis. 

Call

Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2021 are being invited from researchers and developers, who can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical 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 particular weight is put on demonstrating the medical impact of the work.

Winners

The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 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 on the basis of its clinical value, use of visual computing methods, and novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present their results at EG/VGTC 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 documents previous recipients of the prize.
