The Best Visual illusion of the Year Contest is a celebration of the ingenuity and creativity of the world’s premier visual illusion research community. Contestants from all around the world submitted novel visual illusions (unpublished, or published no earlier than 2009), and an international panel of judges rated them and narrowed them to the TOP TEN. At the Contest Gala in the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, the top ten illusionists presented their creations and the attendees of the event voted to pick the TOP THREE WINNERS!
Important information for VSS registrants:
Please note that the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest is an Official Satellite of the VSS meeting: submitting illusions to the Contest does not preclude you from abstract submission to the VSS meeting, or vice versa.
