Sigma Awards 2025 for Data Journalism ($5,000 prize) Deadline: 28 February, 2025
Applications are open for the Sigma Awards 2025. The Sigma Awards is a competition to celebrate the best data journalism from around the world. Striding into its fifth year, it’s also here to empower, elevate and enlighten the global community of data journalists.
The international data journalism community is facing many challenges, and they want to support them. They want to bring together a community, and support those working with data, whether it’s on climate change or international conflicts – because that’s one of the priorities for their community at the moment – or on any other subject. As with previous editions, the award will maintain its no-category rule and will have experts in data journalism from around the world constituting its jury and prize committee.
Prize
- A US$5,000 cash prize will be split amongst the winners, who will each get a certificate suitable for framing. The jury members will decide on the best work overall and come to a consensus on how to divide the cash prize.
Eligibility
- Entries must be for data projects published in the 2024 calendar year (between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024).
- Applicants can enter as many projects as they want.
- Entries have to specify if they qualify as a large or a small newsroom or as an individual, where applicable. Small newsrooms are defined as those with 35 or fewer journalists (including regular freelancers/contractors), or equivalent (e.g, two half-time freelancers count as one person.)
- Organizations that do not qualify under this definition but who believe they belong in the small newsroom category may petition for an exception by sending a letter from the editor-in-chief explaining his or her rationale to [email protected].
- Collaborative work has to be entered as a large newsroom.
