These award categories are inspired by our commitment to feminist praxis, with a focus on encourage collaboration over competition, valuing process more than product, and encourage inquiry into power relations so that we might work to create more just futures.
Making Connections, Fostering Collaboration: Collaboration over competition is a focus of this challenge. Rather than competing against each other, we want to encourage participants to deepen already existing connections and reach out to make new connections. This award category will celebrate a team that embraces collaboration and works to actively create equitable team dynamics.
Embracing Failure: Failure is a central part of the research and innovation process, however, we don’t often talk about all the failures that lead up to our greatest creations or discoveries. This award category is intended to invite conversation and celebration around failure and how failures help us grow and learn.
Documenting the Process: Sometimes, the final visualization product does not fully reflect the process of making it. This category highlights teams or individuals whose process for creating their product has been made visible in useful or thought-provoking ways.
Visualizing Power: Feminist geography is all about grappling with the ways in which power relations are produced, reworked, and contested in and through space. This category highlights visualizations that are particularly effective at illuminating the power relations that structure contemporary border enforcement efforts with an eye towards privileging the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by violence.
(Re)Imaging the Border: Central to our exploration of public information campaigns are questions about how the development and distribution of these campaigns reworks traditional notions of where the border is and where and how efforts to enforce national borders take place. This category celebrates visualizations that are particularly effective at helping us understand and communicate the complicated geographies of border enforcement today and the role PICs play in shaping the where and how of border enforcement.
