Summary

The Insight: A Data and Design Competition, hosted by CartoDB, is a call for submissions of innovative mapping projects that combine data analysis with design. The competition aims to inspire creativity and showcase the best in map making. Participants have been submitting their projects, which are being featured at an exhibit in New York City, Measure a Storefront for Art and Architecture. The submissions include interactive maps, such as Invisible Neighborhoods, which uses crowdsourced data to render boundaries and stories from community members, and Internaut Explorer, which visualizes millions of pages from the open-content directory DMOZ.org on an interactive map. Other notable projects include Time Zones & Cities Map of the World, Instagramming the High Line, and I Move, which explores the idea of mapping one's life based on location data. The competition deadline is August 31st, and CartoDB encourages participants to submit their projects, with resources available for both new and seasoned map-makers.
