This report describes the 27th Annual Graph Drawing Contest, held in conjunction with the 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD’20) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the contest was held completely online. The mission of the Graph Drawing Contest is to monitor and challenge the current state of the art in graph-drawing technology.
