<p class="MsoNormal"><b>DEADLINE EXTENDED: The IEEE PacificVis 2018 Visual Data Storytelling Contest</b>
<b>(Deadline: January 26, 2018)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><a href="http://itolab.is.ocha.ac.jp/pvis2018/#Storytelling_Contest"><span style="font-weight:normal">http://itolab.is.ocha.ac.jp/pvis2018/#Storytelling_Contest</span></a><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following the success of the successful <a href="http://pacificvis.snu.ac.kr/programs#contest">2017 IEEE PacificVis Data Storytelling Contest</a>, the contest will take place for the second time in 2018. Data storytelling, narrative visualization,
or explanatory visualization has emerged as an important industry trend, with events such as the <a href="http://www.tapestryconference.com/">Tapestry Conference</a>, the <a href="https://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/">Information is Beautiful Awards</a>,
and the <a href="https://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/">Malofiej Infographics World Summit</a>, as well as new visual essay publications and blogs such as <a href="https://pudding.cool/">The Pudding</a>, <a href="http://explorabl.es/">Explorable Explanations</a> and <a href="https://medium.com/google-news-lab">Google
News Lab’s Data Journalism blog</a>. The purpose of this contest is to encourage students and researchers to demonstrate the value of their visualization research through effective visual data storytelling, and to contribute to this exciting development in
the broader visualization community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PacificVis is a unified visualization symposium, welcoming all areas of visualization such as: information, scientific, graph, security, and software visualization. Storytellers are invited to submit visual data-driven stories that draw
upon any of these areas. Unlike contests such as the VAST challenge or the SciVis Contest, the data for the PacificVis visual data storytelling contest will be left unspecified; storytellers are free to choose any publicly-available dataset(s). Similarly,
the task that storytellers are to accomplish is to successfully communicate a message or series of messages (i.e., a narrative, a series of insights) using visualization techniques and supported by the underlying data. The themes of the story can draw from
any topic, including current affairs, history, natural disasters, and research findings from the sciences and humanities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Videos of the 8 finalists from the 2017 contest can be viewed at <a href="https://vimeo.com/pviscontest">https://vimeo.com/pviscontest</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Entries may be submitted by teams or individuals, and from both industry and academia alike. Conference sponsors can participate non-competitively. Submissions must fulfill the requirements explained below:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>REQUIREMENTS</b>:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1">Submissions can take several forms:<o:p></o:p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1"><b>Website</b>: an author-hosted website is preferred, however authors may opt to submit a .zip archive of a website containing all dependencies and a readme .txt or .md file with instructions
on how to view the website locally. Authors submitting a website are also highly encouraged to submit a .zip archive containing screenshots and/or a video capture of the website via PCS as a fallback in the event that the contest chairs and judges are unable
to view the website. Authors are encouraged to use interactive and animated elements that advance the story, such as scrollytelling waypoints or stepper navigation controls. Websites that require the viewer to engage in substantial exploratory interaction
are discouraged.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1"><b>Video</b>: .mp4, .avi, or .mov formats are preferred, with a maximum length of 5 minutes. Note that video submissions that appear to be tutorials or demonstrations of a visualization
tool will not be considered; the focus of the submission must be a visual narrative about the data, not a visualization tool or technique.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1"><b>Data Comic</b>: a multi-page .pdf file that tells a story in the style of a comic book.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1"><b>Infographic</b>: a single-page poster .pdf file that tells a story.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

design process undertaken by the storyteller(s). The abstract should not include the message(s) communicated by the story; the story must stand alone in this regard such that a viewer should not need to read the abstract to understand the story. If submitting
the story as a website, authors must include the URL of the story in this abstract.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1">A list of references that include the publicly-available dataset(s) that informed the story and those that are visually represented within the story, as well as any tools, libraries, previously
published techniques, or software applications used during the data analysis and story design process.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1">The story must feature at least one programmatically-generated visual representation of data; visual representations of data generated by manual illustration (e.g., on paper, using illustration
software) are allowed; however, these representations must be used in conjunction with a programmatically-generated visual representations of data. In addition, the programmatically-generated visual representation(s) should be the authors’ own work, using
techniques or tools created by the authors. Third party techniques or applications may be used in conjunction with the authors’ own work as long as proper credit is given to their respective creators and it is made clear which aspects of the implementation
