The SESUG Data Visualization Competition rules are listed below:

• Competition is open to all SAS users.
• Participants must be registered to attend SESUG 2019 to be eligible for cash prizes; all other entrants will be eligible for recognition/placement only.
• Participants can submit a maximum of two entries.
• Results must use SAS or JMP or both.
• Results must use one of the provided datasets (see below).
• All visualization forms are eligible - we are looking for the best visualization of information using SAS or JMP software.
• Submitters must agree to inclusion of their entry in the SESUG proceedings, and if a winner, for SESUG promotional use.
• All code must be included with submission and be reproducible. Visual Analytics entries must include the session generated .xml.
• Submissions must be individual rather than group efforts.
• An outside judge with graphics expertise will be selected.
• Judging will be "entrant blind" to protect against unintentional bias.
• Judging criteria will score entries on creativity, clear presentation of information, and overall appearance.
• All visualization entries should be incorporated into a .PPTX and sent to Barbara Okerson. Be sure to separately include code and contact information with the submission.
• Entries must be received by EOD October 6th, 2019.
• Results will be announced and prizes awarded at SESUG opening session. All entries will be available for viewing throughout the conference.
