Contestants, dig out your visualization textbooks and prepare for a new contest from ReadWriteWeb and Tableau.  Download one of their preselected datasets, create an impressive visualization with Tableau Public, and have a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the Web2.0 EXPO and $500 cash.

ReadWriteWeb and Tableau Public have teamed up to challenge you to our first interactive “graph” contest. Tableau Public makes it so that anyone can make their blog or website standout with an interactive viz (visualization). The question is…will you be the one who publishes a viz so engaging and so smart that you rock our panel of viz and blogging experts? If you are, you’ll win big!

Full rules and instructions are on their site.
