Our Data Visualisation Competition is back! 📈

The opportunity you've been waiting for has arrived... our Data Visualisation Competition is back!

This year we've got prizes worth over £500 up for grabs - have you got what it takes to bag the top prize?

Whether you are a seasoned data visualisation pro or you’re earlier in your journey and looking to learn about data viz whilst working on an interesting project, this competition is for you!

What is the competition? 🤔

With data provided by the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI), your challenge is to use data to tell a story about the hidden benefits of climate action. How does climate action benefit communities? How does it improve our health and wellbeing?

Competition participants are tasked with creating a data visualisation that tells a compelling story using real-world data from the ECCI’s UK Co-benefits Atlas.

Participants design and submit their projects, which are judged on clarity and communication, creativity and design, as well as data analysis, understanding, and accuracy.

Head over to The Data Lab's website for the full competition details and to download the data!

You can submit your data visualisation from 26th November 2025 – 16th January 2026.
