In celebration of the upcoming World Water Day, we've partnered with Circle of Blue (the leading news organization reporting on global water issues) to host a rapid-fire call to designers, data experts, and visualizers to tap into the world's stream of water data.

The theme of the challenge is urban water and we've provided a wealth of water data (in Google Fusion Tables!) for you to visualize. We're offering a $5,000 cash prize and the chance to clarify the data in order to help water institutes propose effective solutions to the growing water problems in cities around the world.

Timeline:
This is a rapid-fire competition
Deadline: March 15, 2011
Announcement: March 22, 2011 (World Water Day). Winning visualizations will be disseminated to the media and water institutes - all around great exposure!

Prize:
$5,000 to the winner

Jury:
A panel of high-profile water experts, data experts, and information designers. Check out our page for the final Jury which will be posted at the end of the week.
