effective visual data storytelling, and to contribute to this exciting development in the broader visualization community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">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></span></p>
