World Statistics Day 2015: Data Visualization Competition Results

If you're in a slump and need some visualization inspiration, look no further. John Wiley & Sons Ltd. organized a data visualization competition and the winning entries are posted online for all to enjoy (and learn from). 

Denise Peaslee won first place with a Tableau-based visualization of worldwide refugee data.

In second place, Deborah Brown and Iain Bryson display recent, optimistic data on the Millennium Development Goals 2015 in video format.

Many other excellent visualizations from runners-up are also worth perusing. For example, Edward Brown's entry on world religion and social indicators is a great example of interactive visualizations.

Now that you've been inspired, get back out there and visualize some data!
