The eighth edition of the Global Editors Network (GEN) Data Journalism Awards is now accepting applications. One major change from 2018 competition is that the “Best Data Journalism Team” category has been divided into two: large and small teams. There is no charge for making an application.
Marianne Bouchart explains how to submit an application in this report from datajournalismawards.org:
It only takes three steps to submit a project to the competition:
Login or register
Fill that form (you can only get there if you’ve completed step 1)
Click on “Submit”We have launched a brand new website this year, featuring new sections such as “News” (with great examples of data journalism from around the world), “Resources” (for tutorials and tools) and Community (so you can chat with other data journalists and apply to the competition). This means we get more ways to communicate with, and tell the stories of the international data journalism community, and that’s something we are very excited about.
To submit your project you will have to first login on the Data Journalism Awards Community. If you don’t have an account yet, you can register right here. Once you’re logged in, all you have to do is click on “Apply” on our website’s menu bar, or follow this link. That will take you to this year’s application form. Fill that form, click on “Submit”, and you’re done!
Note that the deadline to submit your project(s) is 7 April 2019 at 23:59 GMT.
