A challenge for GIP

Open Government Datavis Competition

The Guardian Data Blog, Google and the Open Knowledge Foundation are teaming up to find the best open government datavis out there. There is a top prize of $2,000 on offer for the best visualisation of open government data.

Applicants can use existing data visualisation tools or develop their own new one. The competition organizers want to be wowed and educated. You need not be a developer in order to enter, the most important thing is that the data you have chosen to visualise is approached in an interesting and compelling way.
