Graph Drawing Contest
Prague, September 17-20, 2019
The 26th Annual Graph Drawing Contest shall be held in conjunction with the 27th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2019).
The contest has two parts: the Creative Topics and the Live Challenge.
The creative topics are provided a year in advance and focus on free-form visualisation of specific graphs. Two graphs are provided, and participants are invited to submit any drawings of one or both of the graphs. The submissions will be judged by the contest committee during the symposium. This year's topics are the Marvel Cinematic Universe graph, and the Meal Ingredients graph.
For details, see here.
The live challenge will be held during the conference in a format similar to a typical programming contest, where teams are presented with a collection of challenge graphs and have approximately one hour to submit their highest scoring drawings. This year the challenge will focus on minimizing the number of crossings in an upward drawing on a fixed grid. The tool will become available before the conference.
For details, see here.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, a monetary prize will be handed out to to up to three submissions in each of the following four categories:
