The Guardian Datastore and Google have teamed up to see who can help visualise the data which can show how governments are shaping the Internet in relation to international development.
We will help start you off by suggesting the data, all you have to do is develop the most imaginative way to help our readers to explore it.
I think they are looking for some story telling.
The competition is open to citizens of the UK, US, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden. The winner will take home $2,000 and the result will be published on the Guardian Datastore on our Show and Tell site.
Submissions due Nov 26.
