South China Morning Post strikes gold at prestigious international infographics awards
- The awards, handed out at the Malofiej Infographics World Summit, are popularly known as the ‘infographic Pulitzers’
- The Post’s infographics team has won more than 100 awards this year
The South China Morning Post’s infographics team has swept the board at the industry’s version of the Pulitzers, bagging 20 awards against competition from around the world.
Some 162 media outlets, including The New York Times and National Geographic, from 34 countries, submitted 1,000 entries for the Malofiej 28th International Infographics Awards (2020), which were finally announced on Wednesday.
Organised by the School of Communication at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, the awards were delayed for four months by the coronavirus.
The Post came second in the medal table, scooping up four golds, 11 silvers and five bronze.
“We’re feeling giddy” Darren Long, the Post’s creative director, said. “That our small team can win this many honours from our international peers is just incredibly heart-warming, especially after the past 18 months, which have been incredibly traumatic for anyone who calls Hong Kong home.
