Graph Drawing Contest 2021
Call for Participation
The 28th Annual Graph Drawing Contest shall be held in conjunction with the 29th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2021).
The contest has two parts: the Creative Topics and the Live Challenge.
Creative Topics
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 Movie Remake graph, and the Argumentation Network.
For details, see here.
Live Challenge
The live challenge will be held on TBA (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 planar polyline edge-length ratio on a fixed grid. The tool will become available before the conference.
For details, see here.
Awards
Due to the Corona crisis and the conference being hosted completely online, this year there will unfortunately not be any monetary prizes, but eternal fame on the Graph Drawing Contest website.
