The World Data Visualization Prize 2023 (Over $50,000 in prizes)
Deadline: 1st of February, 2023
For the 2023 World Data Visualization Prize, submissions are requested. The prize, which was introduced for the 2019 edition, emphasizes how governments are enhancing the lives of residents as well as the innovations – both visible and invisible – that fuel and gauge success in this area.
The World Government Summit Organization, a worldwide, impartial, non-profit organization committed to influencing the future of governments, is the host of this $50,000 global creative data challenge. Datasets and topics are provided by them. You offer imaginative, clear data visualizations that create a story or highlight an intriguing aspect of the data.
The winning works will receive cash prizes, international press coverage, and the chance to have their
work exhibited to world leaders at the World Government Summit in February 2023.
This year’s prize focuses on the past, present and future. How well has the world progressed and
improved in recent years? Where do we stand right now and how could we measure that? And what
factors and drivers might shape society, government and citizens of the future?
Theme::
Championing the power of data-visualization to inspire new ways of thinking and seeing the world

Charting our development across many different metrics over a 10 year period to highlight
the successes – and the bottlenecks.
2. Dashboard of the Present Future. Governments need to see how well they, their nation
and their populace are doing – from a data-perspective. Design us a data display for this
purpose. How might it look, feel and function. Which metrics are primary?
3. The Future of Frontiers. What factors and drivers might shape the society, government and
citizens of the future? Tracking and visualising our progress and predictions for innovation in
adaptation, future governance, public services, and social technology.
