3. Caption
Please write a short abstract for your entry that will provide the judges with some background
information on your entry. The abstract should be no more than 150 words and should address the
following:

The research context to help the judges understand what they are looking at in the visualization
(i.e. frog embryo at 100X magnification)

How the visualization transforms non-visible knowledge into a visual representation
Since judges may not be familiar with your discipline, please try to make your description as nontechnical as possible.
Video Entries
Since the judging committee will focus their judging on 5 minutes of your video, please indicate the
starting timestamp (in min:sec) for the 5-min video excerpt you would like the judges to focus on:
____ : ____
Software Entries
In addition to a caption statement that describes the type of visualizations that the software can produce,
participants must include detailed instructions about how to use the tool. We encourage all software
entries to be easy to use.
Judges will evaluate your entry by using your software for 5 minutes maximum. Therefore, it is
important to submit a small written user guide/script to guide the judges in the use of your software.
Since providing jury members with access to the software may take some time, people submitting in this
category should send, by January 1st, an email to vis-awards@tufts.edu informing us of your intent to
submit a software entry and how we might contact you to discuss it.
