2020 IEEE PacificVis Data Storytelling Contest Call for Submission

Submission Deadline has been extended to: January 17, 2020, 9 PM (PST).


Following the success of the three successful 2017, 2018 and 2019 IEEE PacificVis Data Storytelling Contest, the contest will take place for the fourth time in 2020 in Tianjin, China. The purpose of this contest is to encourage professionals, researchers and students 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.



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.



Videos of the finalists from the 2017, 2018 and 2019 contests can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/pviscontest.
