SIGMA AWARDS FOR DATA JOURNALISTS (FUNDED TRIP TO PERUGIA, ITALY & US$5,000 CASH PRIZE )

Application Deadline: 17 January, 2024

LOCATION: Italy

The Sigma Awards celebrates the best data journalism from around the world. It’s also here to empower, elevate and enlighten the global community of data journalists.  To enable everyone, no matter what languages they speak, to contribute to the global records of data journalism each year, entries are accepted in eight languages.

ELIGIBILITY:

It’s free to enter and open to all newsrooms, as well as individuals, around the world.

The Sigma Awards platform lets you enter in either of these 8 languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese.

You can submit as many entries as you want, as single entries or as a portfolio.

There is no category, just like last year, and no set number of winners

BENEFIT:

There’s a US$5,000 cash prize that will be split among winners. Winning participants will also be invited to Perugia, Italy to attend and take part in the International Journalism Festival 2024. It’s a great opportunity to come and meet fellow journalists from around the world (and eat gelato or pizza – or both – for four days). And finally, all winners will get a certificate suitable for framing.
