The sixth edition of the British Data Awards is now live!
Each January we set out on a quest to discover and celebrate the UK’s data success stories and this year, we’re delighted to be joined on this mission by our headline partner Atombit!
Nominations can be submitted here
Please note, the nominations window will close at midnight on the 20th of February.
The British Data Awards welcomes entries from all types of organisations and this typically includes FTSE 100 heavyweights, tech unicorns, innovative start-ups, public sector pioneers, essential not-for-profit organisations, and everything in between. Quite simply, if you have a data success story to share, we’d love to hear about it.
Jason Johnson, Managing Director of Predatech and British Data Awards judge said, “I can’t wait to learn more about some of the great work being delivered by the UK’s world-class data community. While some entries will be game changing, many others will demonstrate how the clever but sometimes simple use of data can have such a positive impact on the organisations and communities all across the UK. Helping to discover and celebrate these data success stories is truly an enormous privilege.”
