The Sigma Awards Projects

Welcome to our special place where we list the best of data journalism from around the world.

When people apply to the Sigma Awards, they are required to share more than a description of their work. We ask about the technologies used, the impact reached, the challenges encountered, and more. We also gather data on countries and organizations represented.

We believe this information can be very valuable to other members of the data journalism community. That’s why we are sharing it with you in a usable format.

If you want to suggest changes or functionalities, flag some UX issues, or else, just get in touch.
