About the Awards

Offering over $20,000 in prizes across 8 brand new subject-based categories, The Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards is decided by a judging panel of leading experts in their fields and a massive public vote from our community of 300,000. Our raison d'etre is to bring dataviz into the mainstream, meaning shortlistees get inclusion in our exhibitions in London & New York, a pair of free tickets for the London party and (for the winners) a feature spot on InformationisBeautiful.net. 

Aside from the trophies and the cash, successful winners have gained all sorts of side benefits - like new clients, jobs at hot startups and book deals.
