Dear Jan,
I just wondered about the timeline you have for this event. Is it true that the submission deadline is 1 June 2015, and that the ten finalists are then expected to present their work in Sweden on 4 June 2015? Or is this a typo? Three days seem to be a very short time to select finalists and to have the finalist plan a journey to a conference.
Regards,
Markus

Dear Markus,
It is true, however it is not mandatory for the participants to join the event physically. It will be possible to present remotely, and if that is not possible in the short timeframe (which is due to Nordic Open Data Week happening and the external funder), someone from Wikimedia Sverige will present that finalist inline with the submission, and it will not count negatively by the jury at all (the submission should ideally be pretty much a good presentation in itself).
I will update the wiki page to make this clear, thanks for pointing it out.

So far there is only one listing at the submissions page, however it is unclear if that is intended to become a proper submission or not.

I will add my submission on monday when I have everything done and ready. Creating the parts required by the submission rules nearly dissuaded me from taking part to be honest, but I didn't want to miss out because I think ViziData [1] is perfect for this :-)

Great!
Out of curiosity, what rules were dissuating?
For reference: We added the the 60 second video since it is required for one of the externally funded prizes. This can be as simple as a screencast showing off the features of the submission. The infographic might be as simple as a still of the tool, that will be enough for qualification. But if it also explains what the submission is good for, the jury will count that as a plus.
