This contest is open to all professional infographics designers. Many information graphics are specialised forms of depiction that represent their content in sophisticated and often abstract ways. In order to interpret the meaning of these graphics appropriately, the viewer requires a suitable level of graphicacy. In many cases, the required graphicacy involves comprehension skills that are learned rather than innate. At a fundamental level, the skills of decoding individual graphic signs and symbols must be acquired before sense can be made of an information graphic as a whole. The best graphics wil be awarded the Kulitzer Infographic Award. THIS CONTEST IS FOR PROFESSIONALS ONLY
