The ASA/NCTM Joint Committee on Curriculum in Statistics and Probability and the ASA’s education department encourage students and their advisers to participate in its annual Data Visualization Poster Competition.
What is a data visualization poster? A data visualization poster is a display containing two or more related graphics that summarize a set of data, look at the data from different points of view, and answer specific questions about the data.
Create a poster with graphic displays summarizing a set of data. Specific Rules include:
- Posters must measure between 18 and 24 inches high and 24 and 30 inches wide. Any weight of paper is permitted.
- The best way to send the poster is flat, between taped sheets of cardboard. Do not send posters rolled in a tube. Between 200 and 400 posters are entered, so send posters using a method that lends itself to easy opening with a razor. No extra papers, “peanuts,” or other non-Earth friendly packing materials should be included.
- Be sure posters are not wrapped so securely that opening becomes a challenge. Do not use duct tape or large amounts of tape.
- Any layers of paper on posters must be affixed securely.
- Posters must be the original design and creation of the entrant(s).
- Computer graphics may be used.
- Subject matter is the choice of the participant(s) or their classmates.
- An example of the original data and brief descriptions of the method of collection and purpose of the experiment must be taped securely to the back of the poster. (Cite references for published data.)
- In submitting a poster, students agree the poster may be displayed at the ASA’s Joint Statistical Meetings, featured in its publications, and included on its website.
