MVC13 Submission Deadline

Submissions now open for annual Materials Visualization Competition

The thirteenth annual Materials Visualization Competition (MVC13) is now accepting submissions. Celebrating the quality of research in materials at Penn State, this competition increases awareness of materials science through the creativity and visualization of our researchers.

Entry is open to all Penn State undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff working on materials-related topics.

Judges will select winners in three categories: scientific, visual and computation/modeling. Prizes totaling $1,700 will be awarded between the best in show, and the first, second and third place winners in each category.

The public will choose the People’s Choice Award winner from all entries which will be available online to view and vote on electronically from March 7 through March 13. The image that receives the most votes will receive a $100 prize.
