Winners judged in 2025 on work published in 2024
The Society for News Design is proud to announce results from the 46th edition of the Best of News Design Creative Competition. Winners are selected by visual journalists who are gathered in Minneapolis to assess the best work published in 2024. Organizations from around the world were represented in the makeup of the judging panel.
The Best of News Design Creative Competition honors excellence in visual storytelling, design and journalism produced in 2024. Winners are announced live during the competition. Our highest honors – World’s Best Designed Newspaper, World’s Best Digital News Experience, World’s Best Designer, World’s Best Emerging Designer and Best in Show – are announced shortly following the competition.
History of the Annual Creative Competition
The annual Best of Newspaper Design Creative Competition started in 1979, and the contest was opened to magazines in 2009 as the name changed to the Best of News Design. Since 2002, SND has invited entries from all news sites published anywhere in the world (formerly known as the SNDies) to recognize skill, innovation and high-quality digital journalism.
