The DVS State of the Data Viz Industry Survey Challenge is here!
This Challenge uses the 2023 State of the Industry Survey data and provides data visualization practitioners an opportunity to use their visualization skills while learning and sharing observations and insights about data visualizers around the globe.
New this year, we have segmented the data into five separate datasets that roughly align with sections of the State of the Industry Survey Report and make it easier for visualizers to focus on a topic. Check out this page website for additional details on the dataset and the process for entry and judging. Each entry also receives private, anonymous feedback from at least two judges in the dataviz field.
The Challenge is open for 6 weeks and will close on March 31 at 11:59P PT.
You can now find us on Bluesky! We'll start sharing updates on the platform—follow us on Bluesky to receive the latest DVS updates!
