Northwestern Data Viz Championship

This is an opportunity for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff to showcase their data visualization skills and compete to be the Data Viz Champion and win prizes. Students will be given a data set and asked to produce a data viz for submission. The 2026 competition will use the college fight song dataset available here. Faculty/staff may submit an existing viz that highlights their institution or one of its projects.
