The Data Visualization Showcase takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25, in the Visualization Laboratory (240H Braunstein Hall, Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library). Coffee and refreshments will be served. All are welcome.

Submissions for the showcase are open to all University of Cincinnati affiliates, but must be submitted to AskData@uc.edu by Oct. 11 to be considered for the awards. All submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judges and should follow submission guidelines.

The showcase will be juried by a panel of interdisciplinary judges scoring each submission on the following four tenets of data visualization: impact, storytelling, technical aptitude and creativity. See the rubric for more details.

The judges will award certificates of achievement to the top three submissions at the Showcase on Oct. 25. There will also be participation prizes for all valid submissions.
