The international panel evaluating the submissions to the 2nd ERCOFTAC Milton van Dyke Competition completed its work and chose 5 finalist. However, the panel also distinguished 10 visualisations for its high quality and esthetical value. The visualizations will also be presented during the 2nd Milton van Dyke final in Pisa on the 16th April 2026.
