Sigma Awards for Data Journalists Worldwide 2024

The Sigma Awards for data journalism are back again. Each year, the Sigma Awards celebrates the best data journalism from around the world. The Sigma Awards invite data teams, big or small, but also individuals or freelancers, to submit the great projects they’ve done throughout the past year. You send your work, we compile it, review it, and the most outstanding wins.

Data journalism helps people understand the most intricate information about the world. Lately, data, satellite imagery, machine learning and clever use of analytical methods have helped journalists document war crimes, report on conflicts, disclose money-laundering, visualise patterns of global warming, and so much more. We want to bring light on the teams and individuals who do outstanding work in order to inform people day-in and day-out.
