The Scores

The same scoring process from our previous contest was used, where a team of Tableau employees scored the entries to create a shortlist of ten vizzes for our expert data viz judges to score. Each viz has been reviewed by our judges, and assessed on analysis, storytelling, and design.

Many thanks to all of you who participated by submitting a viz, as well as by voting for your favorite(s)! And of course, a big thank you to all our judges for their eager eyes. Be sure to get your ticket to Tableau Conference to watch the Iron Viz Championship live on October 24th!
