This is an opportunity for faculty and staff at Big Ten institutions to showcase their data visualization skills and to compete for the title of Big Ten Academic Alliance Data Viz Champion. Faculty and staff may submit an existing viz that highlights their institution or one of its projects.
Resources
Submission and Voting
Each institution may submit one faculty/staff visualization to the Championship. Submissions should be sent via the institutional coordinators and must include an image for use in a thumbnail, a title, a short description, and a publicly available URL. Check with your institutional coordinator for campus deadlines.
Institutional entries will be posted by category on the Big Ten Academic Alliance Data Championship website, and members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance community will be invited to vote for the winner. The visualization with the most votes for their category will win the Challenge. Login from an account associated with a Big Ten institution will be required to vote, ensuring that individuals can vote only once.
Each entrant will be invited to present their work at the Data Viz Showcase. At the end of the showcase, the results will be announced, and the Champions will be crowned. The showcase date and time will be announced soon.
For more information, contact Lori Frost or your institutional coordinator.
