[image: 2008 INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING VISUALIZATION CHALLENGE WINNERS ANNOUNCED Hidden Worlds Revealed in Stunning Array of Entries] [image: Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge.] *September 25, 2008 * — Arlington, VA. — The National Science Foundation (NSF) along with the journal *Science*, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), today announced the winners of their sixth annual International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. Illustrators, photographers, computer programmers, and graphics specialists from around the world were invited to submit visualizations that would intrigue, explain, and educate. Over 180 entries were received from 21 countries. Jeff Nesbit, Director of NSF's Office of Legislative and Public Affairs, praised the winners, saying "These visualizations are aids to understanding, keys to insight, and tools for learning. They explain complex phenomena to the public, let researchers view their subjects from new perspectives, and most importantly, spark the imaginations of students everywhere. We are indebted," he said, "to these extraordinary individuals and very talented teams."
