GIJN Sigma Awards

"The Sigma Awards were launched in 2020 to recognize the best data journalism around the world, and also to preserve and build a media community that is increasingly important for public accountability. Now hosted by the Global Investigative Journalism Network, the awards have become a catalyst for more ambitious and innovative public interest projects for newsrooms of all sizes in every region, the focus of a collaborative, sharp-toothed community, and a window into the evolution of data journalism itself. We find categories restrictive… The jury members will decide on the best work overall and come to a consensus on how to divide the US$5,000 cash prize." 2026 contest announcement. Deadline: Jan. 11, 2026 extended to Jan. 18.
