Power BI design challenges

Each challenge gives everyone the same original, synthetic dataset for a fictional company, a brief written for one reader, and a rubric that scores every entry with the same code. Design the page in the Design Studio and enter it by publishing it to the community gallery.

Challenges

#1 · Draft · not open for entriesIsland ferry operationsDesign a one-page operations report for a fictional island ferry operator from an original synthetic dataset, scored by Design Check and a published rubric.

How entries are scored

Every challenge uses the same deterministic rubric, so anyone can reproduce a score.

Design Check · 40 points. The Studio’s Design Check score, scaled.
Text contrast · 15 points. Every text box reaches WCAG AA against what is behind it.
Binds to the model · 25 points. Share of built-in visuals titled after a field in the dataset.
Covers the brief · 20 points. Share of the brief’s must-show items named on the page.

Questions

Are there prizes?

Not yet. Prize terms have to be reviewed for each region before any are offered, so the first challenge is published as a draft: the brief, dataset and rubric are public, entries are not open, and no dates are set.

Where does the dataset come from?

It is original synthetic data generated for the challenge from a fixed seed, for a fictional company. It is not taken from a real company or a published dataset.

How do I enter?

Once a challenge is open: design your page in the Design Studio, then publish it from My designs with the challenge selected. Entries are community designs, so they go through the same moderator review and need the same rights confirmation.

Is there an AI critique?

No. Entries are scored only by the deterministic rubric on the challenge page, which anyone can reproduce.
