By understanding data, you can uncover insights and hidden patterns that improve our understanding of how urban India lives. Show us new ways to tackle a basic question: *How do we move about Indian cities?* Your story can be one of long or short trips in cities, of mobility for the young and old, of challenges in ever growing cities, of how transport brings us together and keeps us segregated or any other story that grabs your attention. Tell us this story in the form of a compelling visual or an infographic! *Application* 1) Register and download the dataset *here* <http://www.urbanmobilityindia.in/LRTheme/GeneralInfo.aspx> 2) Create your infographic 3) Showcase your work to more than thousand professionals and officials at the Urban Mobility India (UMI) Conference 2014 in November 2014. *For more information, click here <http://embarqindiahub.org/infographics/data-visualization-challenge-umi-2014> or contact Zainab Kakal at [email protected] <[email protected]>* *IMPORTANT DATES:* *Apply by: *Wednesday,19 November 2014 (24:00 hours IST) *Shortlist announced:* Friday, 21 November 2014 *Winners announced:* Friday, 28 November 2014 <http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2F67Z7P> Share <http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2F67Z7P> <http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Call+for+Applications%3A+Data+Visualization+Challenge+at+Urban+Mobility+India+2014:%20http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2F67Z7P> Tweet <http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Call+for+Applications%3A+Data+Visualization+Challenge+at+Urban+Mobility+India+2014:%20http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2F67Z7P> <http://us4.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=1d25c994a1686d2b4120d353f&id=3f3c22803c&e=056496d096> Forward <http://us4.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=1d25c994a1686d2b4120d353f&id=3f3c22803c&e=056496d096>*Copyright © 2014 WRI India.
