Eyebeam’s Data Viz Challenge promotes data visualization innovation and good design’s ability to change and inform. The current challenge looks for good ways to present data showing how the United States government spends tax money. The guidelines Data Viz offers entrants are sound advice beyond the challenge.
Data Viz challenge guidelines for a good visualization:

Clarity Presents information that is accessible, accurate, and meaningful.
Relevance Communicates information that is timely, personal, or relatable.
