[GDNET] Call for participation: Graph Drawing Contest

[Fabian Klute]

*Call for participation: Graph Drawing Contest*

The 31st Annual Graph Drawing Contest
<http://www.graphdrawing.org/gdcontest/2024/> shall be held in conjunction
with the 32nd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network
Visualization <https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2024/> (GD 2024). The
contest has two parts: the Creative Topic and the Live Challenge. Awards
will be given to the top submissions in each part of the contest. The
different parts are briefly described below -- details on both parts of the
contest can be found on the contest webpage:

*Creative Topic*

The creative topic is provided in advance and focuses on free-form
visualisation of a specific graph. Participants are invited to submit a
creative drawing of this graph that evokes exploration and understanding
the graph. The submissions will be judged by the contest committee. This
year’s topic is Medals at the Olympic Summer Games.

*Live Challenge*

The live challenge will be held during the conference (exact date and time
to be announced) 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 (either
created manually, or automatically). This year the challenge will focus on
minimizing crossings, when drawing a graph by assigning its vertices to a
given set of locations.

*Contest committee*
- Sara Di Bartolomeo (University of Konstanz)
- Fabian Klute (chair, Polytechnic University of Catalonia)
- Wouter Meulemans (TU Eindhoven)
- Debajyoti Mondal (University of Saskatchewan)
- Jules Wulms (TU Eindhoven)
