Abstract
Successful visibilization of Optics and Photonics in the general media and at schools is critical to build societal appreciation for our research, establish the relevance of the field in the minds of policy makers, and foster student's motivation and interest in pursuing future careers in these topics. Rewarding such visibilization efforts from journalists and educators is not only fair, but can also be an effective way of enhancing their impact and ensuring their continuity. In this talk I will illustrate this approach with the example of Instituto de Óptica's Photon Awards.
