2021 IEEE PacificVis Data Storytelling Contest Call for Submissions
Submission Deadline: January 15th, 2021, midnight (PST).


The PacificVis Data Storytelling Contest will celebrate its 5th year
as a part of the 2021 IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium. This
year’s contest will include virtual presentations, for those who
cannot physically attend the main conference, which will be held in
Tianjin, China on April 19-22, 2021.

The purpose of this contest is to encourage researchers, designers,
and media artists to demonstrate the value of visualization through
effective visual data storytelling, as a way to promote innovative and
effective use of visualization for communicating and explaining ideas.

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 accepted entries from previous contests can be viewed at
