Introducing the Judges

With data visualization exploring every imaginable topic in ever more imaginative ways, this year we've retooled categories, focusing not on format but subject matter.

As ever, our jury includes numerous superlative designers, journalists, researchers & coders who understand infographics & data visuals from the inside. And YOU, the dataviz-loving public, influence the results & the community prize.

Now for the first time we're adding subject experts: specialists in art, music, politics, games, science, business and beyond. We hope this combination of perspectives will reflect the increasing ubiquity of visualization in every aspect of today's world.
