The Viz Games Thailand 2018 is a chance to prove your visualization and become a part of a growing data viz community!
What are the terms of participating?
Any legal resident of Thailand, not employed by Tableau Software can participate as long as they follow our guidelines and rules.
What is the schedule?
- August 15, 2018 - Submission Period Opens: anyone wishing to participate can submit their viz here

How will the three winners be chosen?
A panel of judges comprised of Tableau employees will evaluate all submissions based on the following criteria:
- Design
- Storytelling (note does not have to use the StoryPoints Tableau feature)
- Analysis
More information about scoring and judging can be found in the Contest Rules.
How many entries may one person make?
Please limit your entries to 1.
What if I submit an entry early, and then later re-work my viz and want to replace my first entry?
That’s fantastic – feel free to do that up until the close of the contest. Tableau Public automatically supports updates to your viz. You do not need to resubmit your entry form, simply update your workbook, by overwriting the file on Tableau Public. Your embedded viz will automatically update on the webpage you have posted it. We won't look at the entries until the end of the submission period, so update them as much as you want.
Can I really use any data?
For the Viz Games Thailand 2018, you can use any data set(s) you find interesting, provided it is about Thailand and legally can be shared online. Please be considerate of others, and do not use a data set that might be found overly offensive.
Where can I find data about Thailand?
For the Viz Games Thailand 2018, you have to use data about Thailand to create your viz. There are many places that you can find data about Thailand; have a look at Sample Data Sets 1 and Sample Data Sets 2 for a start.
Sharing is caring!
Tableau Public is all about sharing, so please enable 'Download' on your published viz. That way others can learn how you made your viz.
