Description
Piemonte Visual Contest is a competition to collect and implement visualization proposals based on public data, concerning the activities of the Regione Piemonte. Telling the story of Piedmont by leveraging public data heritage is the goal of Consiglio Regionale del Piemonte and TOP-IX Consortium, promoters of Piemonte Visual Contest in collaboration with the Open Data Board of the Regione Piemonte Directorate of Innovation. Their long standing partnership, along with the help of many other local institutions, enables Piedmont to be among the brightest examples in the European Open Data sector.
The contest aims at involving institutions, developers and designers in a learning process, so as to promote access to Piedmont digital heritage. The wise use of acquired digital data enables transparency in the administration decision making process and evidence based information for the citizens.
There are two categories within the contest: Infographic (static) and Data Visualisation (dynamic). The projects must be based on data concerning social, economical and environmental aspects of Piedmont. The projects will be evaluated by a jury of external experts. Winners will be invited to the final event in Turin.
Eligibility
The competition is open to citizens, associations, communities of developers and/or designers (graphic and web), schools and companies within the European Union. There are no age limits. Minors shall provide parental authorization.
Awards
The best three projects in each category (Infographic and Data Visualisation) will be awarded a money prize:
- 2.500 € for the first place
- 1.000 € for the second place
- 500 € for the third place
Furthermore Talent Garden Torino, as a sponsor, guarantees a non-money prize of 3.000€ which will increment Piemonte visual contest prize pool.
