Official Rules
Any legal resident of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam or Myanmar, not employed by Tableau Software can participate as long as they follow our guidelines and rules.
Each person can only make one submission.
That’s fantastic – feel free to do that up until the close of the contest. Tableau Public automatically supports updates to your viz. You do not need to resubmit your entry form, simply update your workbook, by overwriting the file on Tableau Public. Your embedded viz will automatically update on the webpage you have posted it. We won't look at the entries until the end of the submission period, so update them as much as you want.
For the Viz Games Singapore 2019, you can use any data set(s) you find interesting, provided it is about Singapore and legally can be shared online. Please be considerate of others, and do not use a data set that might be found overly offensive.
For the Viz Games Singapore 2019, you have to use data about Singapore to create your viz. There are many places that you can find data about Singapore; Smart Nation Open Data Portal | Public Data Sets, Datasets - Data.gov.sg, Singapore Department of Statistics (DOS). You can also check out generic data pool on Kaggle and Reddit.
Tableau Public is all about sharing, so please enable 'Download' on your published viz. That way others can learn how you made your viz.
