This (below) was announced recently by SVP and the National Geographic

NEW National Geographic Digital Modeling and Animation Award Category
The John J. Lanzendorf Paleoart Award is in its tenth year. To
commemorate that anniversary and SVP's 70th anniversary, the
Lanzendorf
Awards will add a new category. This new category, sponsored by the
National Geographic Society will recognize talent and accuracy in 3D
computer modeling and animation. The Lanzendorf Awards have given
prizes
in the categories of scientific illustration, two-dimensional art and
sculpture. With this new category, the Lanzendorf committee and the
SVP
recognize the importance of this rapidly growing frontier of
scientific
visualization for furthering science and public understanding.
