2018 Data for a Cause Challenge: Winners Announced

We are honoured to be the focus of a #Dataforacause challenge for another consecutive year.

Data visualisation professionals produced visualisations based on the work of the Institute for Economic and Peace’s most recent research, like the Global Peace Index and Global Terrorism Index.

The competition’s goal is to tell a story using the data behind the reports. Data can be powerful, and even more powerful when its presented in a way that makes meaning. We are pleased to be part of the judging panel. Below are this year’s winners.

You can view all of the entries using #dataforacause on Twitter, or find out more on the Data for a Cause website.
