Yes, this is a great idea, and I think SciPy is a great forum for it.
I'll coordinate with next year's organizers and see if we can't add this
as a new category along with the paper submissions.

What a great idea! Perhaps we could arrange judging at the annual
SciPy conference (or similar) with printouts of all the submissions.
This would be a great opportunity for everybody in the community to
see the broad and diverse usage of matplotlib globally, and an even
greater opportunity to reflect on the amazing work that John did on
bringing this fantastic community together.

Hi all,
Shocked by news of John Hunter's untimely severe health problems
and now
death, I have been thinking about what we could do as a community
to 1)
fuel matplotlib to further heights and 2) give everyone, but
especially
John's family, some appreciation for how wide, and ongoing, his impact
is. To those ends, I envision an MPL figure contest.
I have a lot of ideas about the shape such a contest could take (it
could be an annual event, have multiple categories, have corporate
sponsored prizes, and so on). Ultimately, however, I simply don't have
the time to organize the contest myself. I do see this as an ideal
project for someone who wants to contribute to the MPL community
without
necessarily requiring in-depth technical skills. Consequently, I'm
floating this idea here, and I hope someone in the community can run
with it. You would certainly have figure submissions from my lab!
Best regards,
Andrew
