Every year, this esteemed awards ceremony recognizes and celebrates the finest achievements in data journalism from across the globe. The Sigma Awards warmly welcome submissions from data teams, regardless of their size, as well as from individuals and freelancers who have undertaken remarkable projects throughout the previous year.

Data journalism plays a crucial role in helping people comprehend intricate information about the world. In recent times, the utilization of data, satellite imagery, machine learning, and astute analytical methods has enabled journalists to document war crimes, report on conflicts, expose money-laundering activities, visualize patterns of global warming, and much more. Our aim is to shine a spotlight on the teams and individuals who consistently produce outstanding work, tirelessly informing the public day in and day out.
