Malofiej Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The annual Malofiej Awards for Infographics were organized by the Spanish chapter of the Society for News Design (SND-E) for accomplishments in journalistic infographics.[1] They have been regarded as some of the most prestigious in this field.[2][3] The awards were given each March in Pamplona, Spain.

Submissions were invited online.[4]

On October 1, 2021, the organizers announced[5] that the awards would be paused “while we open a period of reflection to think about how to continue with them in the future.”

History[]

The awards are named for Argentine designer Alejandro Malofiej, who made simple and creative graphics.[6]

The Malofiej were an essential reference for their prestige and drawing power. The Awards, considered to be the Pulitzers for infographics,[1] the professional workshop “Show, Don’t Tell!” and the Conference in Pamplona annually bring together the best infographics artists from media (newspapers, magazines, agencies) from around the world.
