RIH Day Infographics

If you were accepted as an RIH Day participant, the next step is to prepare digital copies of your infographic and submit them via the form (linked below) no later than April 5, 2024.

Click here to submit your infographic.

Save your infographic TWICE: 
1) as a PDF file
2) as a picture file (JPG or PNG)

NOTE:

  • Information presented on your infographic should be approved for the public to see - copies will be made available on the library's blog and shared with partners.
  • Do not include your name(s) on the infographic. This allows for fairness in judging.
  • When you submit your infographic, please include the names of each author in the order you would like them to appear on our blog and Kaleidoscope. Please confirm spelling as well as any titles (e.g., MD). This should be in the submission form, NOT on the infographic.

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. Their design makes it easier to grasp complicated concepts and subjects quickly.

Check out our subject guide: "Designing Infographics" for tips, software, and copyright information

Judges from outside organizations and DHSS leaders have been selected to review the digital copies of the infographics between April 8 - 15, 2024. We’re also asking DHSS employees to share their vote. First, second, and third place as well as People's Choice winners will be selected in each category.
