How to submit

To submit your visualization (images and/or animations), please pack it into a ZIP or .tar.gz file (if you have multiple files) and upload your file to a file-sharing service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, https://transfer.sh, or Nextcloud (if you have an Alliance account) and use this form to send us the link to the file.

For videos, please use either MPEG-4, H.264, or H.265 codecs, not the older AVI format. Please include the description of your workflow (or any related script) so that we could reproduce your visualization on our side. If you want to include a text description of your submission, please add it to your ZIP or .tar.gz file in any format, e.g. plain text or PDF.

Once we receive your submission, we will send you a confirmation email.

Awards
