2022 APDU Data Viz Awards: Call for Visualizations
The Association of Public Data Users (APDU) is pleased to announce the 2022 Data Viz Awards. We are again soliciting creative and meaningful graphic designs that use publicly-available data (for example, data from the Census Bureau or Bureau of Labor Statistics) to convey a compelling point or story.
About the Award
APDU started the Data Viz Awards in response to our members’ growing need to communicate their data and research to a variety of audiences using graphic technologies and cutting-edge techniques. APDU hopes to engage data users and help them understand and share data for analysis and decision making.
Nominees selected by an impartial expert committee from each category (listed below) will be invited to share their visualizations at the 2022 APDU Annual Conference: September 20, 2022, held in Arlington, VA.
Winners in the “Researchers & Students” category will also receive a free APDU membership for 2023.
What We’re Looking For
APDU will select creative and compelling images in four categories:
- State/Local government, including independent and quasi-independent agencies;
- Federal government, including independent and quasi-independent agencies;
- Private firms, which can include consultancies, advocacy groups, or any other private firms using public data; and
- Researchers/Students, which can include any visuals published or formally presented by researchers or students in higher education, think tanks, research organizations, nonprofits, or similar.
Submissions must have been created after January 1, 2022. All visualizations nominated for presentation at the Annual Conference will be eligible for the award provided that nominees register for the conference.
Deadline: Friday, August 26, 2022
