The NNLM Data Visualization Challenge, hosted by the National Evaluation Center, will encourage participants to push the boundaries of their skills by testing out new tools, techniques, or approaches, and publicly demonstrating their best visualizations. Submissions will be accepted February 1 – March 31, 2024.

The challenge allows you to:

• Showcase an open dataset. You can use one or more sources of data that is openly available.
• Focus on any audience. You can focus your efforts on designing visualizations for one or more audiences.
• Use your choice of tools. You can use one or more visualization tools.

Anyone who has taken part in NNLM activities (e.g., training or grant programs), any health sciences library staff, health sciences librarians working in non-library settings, library or information students, or NNLM staff members are eligible to apply. Awards are restricted to individuals who are 18 years or older and based in the United States.

The top visualizations will be given $500 awards to be used for professional development. Submissions can be static or dynamic and will be shared in an open gallery in an online repository. See the awardees from 2023 in Zenodo.
