Enter the "Visualize The BCS" Infographic Contest! #BCSvisual
Think you can design an infographic? Well now's your chance to prove it!
Announcing the "Visualize the BCS" contest from InfoJocks.com! The Bowl Championship Series causes a ton of debate between sports fans over the holidays. We want you to design an infographic about the BCS. What to visualize is completely up to you, but must meet two criteria: 1) relate to the BCS and 2) use statistics. Should be easy, right?
Prizes: Three winners. Best Entry gets two posters of their choice and a $50.00 gift certificate to ESPN’s online store. And to keep it interesting, Most Artistic Entry and Most Analytical Entry both receive posters as well. All entrants with legitimate entries will receive a free set of our Taxonomy of Team Names gift cards.
Of course, I will post the winners here on Cool Infographics and maybe more of the entries as well.
Deadline: All entries are due January 1, 2010. The winner will be selected before the National Championship is played. Send your entry in PNG, JPEG, or PDF format to contest@infojocks.com, along with your mailing address.
Visit the InfoJocks.com blog for complete details and some ideas. Jeremy will be posting some links to possible resources and datasets next week.
Spread the Word! Also, from Cool Infographics you can win a free poster by helping us spread the word. Tweet about the contest on Twitter with a link back to this post and include the hashtag #BCSvisual. On December 21st, I'll use a random number generator to pick a random qualifying Tweet and send you a free poster from Infojocks. (only one Tweet per person will qualify) An example Tweet would look like this:
