<h1> <span style="font-size:14px">SciPy
John Hunter Excellence in
Plotting Contest</span></h1>
<p> <span style="font-size:14px">In
memory of John Hunter, we are
pleased to announce the first
SciPy John Hunter Excellence in
Plotting Competition. This open
competition aims to highlight
the importance of quality
plotting to scientific progress
and showcase the capabilities of
the current generation of
plotting software. Participants
are invited to submit scientific
plots to be judged by a panel.
The winning entries will be
announced and displayed at the
conference.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size:14px">NumFOCUS
is graciously sponsoring cash
prizes for the winners in the
following amounts:</span></p>
<ul>
<li> <span style="font-size:14px">1st
prize: $500</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:14px">2nd
prize: $200</span></li>
<li> <span style="font-size:14px">3rd
prize: $100</span></li>

<h2> <span style="font-size:14px">Instructions</span></h2>
<ul>
<li> <span
style="font-size:14px">Entries
must be submitted by April 3
via <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:plotting-contest@scipy.org"
style="color:#285eae;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal"
target="_blank">e-mail</a>.</span></li>
<li> <span
style="font-size:14px">Plots
may be produced with any
combination of Python-based
tools (it is not required
that they use matplotlib,
for example).</span></li>
<li> <span
style="font-size:14px">Source
code for the plot must be
provided, along with a
rendering of the plot in a
vector format (PDF, PS,
etc.). If the data can not
be shared for reasons of
size or licensing, "fake"
data may be substituted,
along with an image of the
plot using real data.</span></li>
<li> <span
style="font-size:14px">Entries
will be judged on their
clarity, innovation and
aesthetics, but most
importantly for their
effectiveness in
illuminating real scientific
work. Entrants are
encouraged to submit plots
that were used during the
course of research, rather
than merely being
hypothetical.</span></li>
<li> <span
style="font-size:14px">SciPy
reserves the right to
display the entry at the
conference, use in any
materials or on its website,
providing attribution to the
original author(s).</span></li>
