Explore the 2026 Iron Viz Entries

Are you ready to be blown away by the 122 impressive visualizations submitted during the 2026 Iron Viz global qualifier contest? This year’s theme was food and drink.

From local flavors to global trends—we challenged the DataFam to viz the dishes and data points that leave them feeling truly satisfied.

Over the next few weeks, a committee of Tableau Community judges will review the submissions and score them according to the following criteria:

• Design: How appropriate is the design for the story being told?
• Storytelling: Is there a clear story being told or a question being explored, and is there appropriate context?
• Analysis: How sophisticated and appropriate is the data that is being used for the story?

Stay tuned for the 2026 Iron Viz Qualifier Results Virtual Event which will recognize the top ten entries, and announce the three finalists advancing to the Iron Viz Championship at Tableau Conference next year. Big stakes are on the line as our finalists will compete for a chance to win up to $15,000! For more information on prizes, please visit the contest page.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone and taking the Iron Viz challenge is no easy feat. We’re so proud of each and every member of the community who took the time and energy to enter. To show your support, be sure to favorite their vizzes below and follow them on Tableau Public
