Entries for the BOBI Awards open on Friday 6th December 2024

Calling all analytics teams! The BOBI Analyst Team of the Year 2025, sponsored by 14 Four Analytics is your chance to dive into a realistic case study and transform complex datasets into an interactive, visually engaging report that tells a story and captivates your audience.

The challenge

Returning with a new format for 2025, the Analyst Team of the Year is a virtual challenge taking place over three days. With data preparation and cleaning already done, you can jump straight into data interpretation, storytelling and impactful reporting that draws readers in and encourages them to explore your insights further.

This format lets your team complete the challenge anytime during the competition window. We recommend setting aside a single day to complete the task but the time you decide to invest is up to you. 

After receiving your dataset and attending a virtual briefing, your team will have three days to complete the task. This intense, focused challenge could secure your team the coveted Analyst Team of the Year trophy and industry recognition for your analytical talents.

How to enter
