The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the role and impact of computer graphics in the field of medicine. The goal is to highlight outstanding contributions and to encourage further development. In 2010 the Eurographics Medical Prize was renamed to Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine to honor Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March the same year. (Text from Frontmatter Dirk-Bartz-Prize 2017 )
Since 2021 the Dirk Bartz Prize is part of the EuroVis Conferences.
