In the second edition of the Swiss Viz Awards, we received numerous outstanding submissions. We selected a winner in each of the three categories: Visualizations, Dashboards, and Data Stories. Additionally, a Student winner was chosen in both the Visualizations and Data Stories categories.
What is the Swiss Viz Awards?
Visualization plays a pivotal role in the data journey. It imparts knowledge and understanding, influencing our perceptions, guiding our actions and sparks inspiration.
As part of the Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS), the Swiss Viz Awards bring together enthusiasts of data visualization who share a passion for data and its visual representation. These awards not only honor exceptional work and authors in the field annually but also contribute to promoting the discipline to a broader audience.

The Swiss Viz Award features three categories:
- Visualizations
This type of work is exploratory, it provides the user with a chart (or several) that enables her to extract her own insights from the data. - Data stories
This type of work is explanatory and guides the viewer on a journey via storytelling, it usually displays multiple story aspects and contains several charts (elements). - Dashboards
This category is designed for dashboards that one uses regularly to monitor or supervise operations such as business dashboards, training (fitness) dashboards, etc. The works will exclusively be accessible to jury members. When a work is selected, collaboration with the author will be undertaken to anonymize the data and the organization, facilitating its eventual publication.
We have received numerous printed/static, animated (short films), interactive, on- or offline visualizations from both individuals and teams. The submitted works were evaluated by our jury members based on the following principles:
