Judging Criteria

  • Best overall solution
    Can your idea capture the imaginations of our judging panel? Does it demonstrate data innovation at its best, with the potential to really make a difference?
  • Best data insight
    Using our data, can you tell us something we didn’t know about before? Maybe show us the possibilities of predictive modelling and prescriptive intervention, or an insight that changes the way we do things
  • Best data visualisation
    Often the power of data insights is in the story it tells - demonstrate how complex information can be visualised to create effective, actionable insights
