Meet the Winners of the Best Report Contest
On January 7, 2016, we asked to see your best reports for the Best Report Contest. By the time the entry period closed on January 29, we had just over 50 submissions, each one creative, interesting, and a great demonstration of what’s possible with Power BI.
We then asked the Community to vote for the winners, and today we’re happy to congratulate them! The first place winner of the $5000 prize is SQLJason with his entry "Stephen Curry: a look at the intriguing numbers behind the reigning MVP". The second place winner, taking the $2500 prize, is jamesdales and his entry "M25 Road Traffic Accidents".
The top 10 finalists in the Best Report Contest collectively received almost 1,000 votes from the Community in the form of “kudos”. It was a great turnout, and a great show of support from our members. Thanks to everyone who voted!
All of the contest entrants deserve a special congratulations for their efforts. In the next few days every Best Report submission will be posted in the Power BI Showcase forum on our community site so you can see their inspiring work.
Remember to keep an eye on the Community forums to stay informed on upcoming contests and interact with data analyst experts from around the world!
