A competition for the best immersive 3D visualisation using Datascape. 

Datascape provides an immersive environment in which users can explore and interact with data from almost any source. The competition asks entrants to use the free community version of Datascape and their own data (or any publicly available open datasets) to come up with breath-taking, original and compelling visualisations.

The competition invites entrants to upload and share their visualisations in four categories:

• scientific/health data
• social media data
• business and financial data
• open government data (e.g. data.gov, data.gov.uk, data.un.org)
