The first ever Power BI DataViz World Championships
Fancy yourself as a Power BI guru? The four winners of the qualifying rounds for this inaugural competition will battle it out at the MGM in Las Vegas to become Power BI world champion!

Posted by Andy Brown on 03 March 2025

Fancy yourself as a Power BI guru, and want a free trip to Las Vegas? Now's your chance to prove your credentials! There are 4 qualifying rounds:

Dates	Theme	Winner
14-21 February	Love	Javier (you can see his winning entry out of the 129 entries received here)
21-28 February	Travel	Not announced yet
28 Feb to 07 March	Sports and activities	Not complete yet
07 to 14 March	Not announced yet	Not begun

The four winners (one from each qualifying round) will compete on 31st March live onstage at the Microsoft Fabric Community FabCon conference in Las Vegas (each will receive 3 nights of accommodation and a conference pass - worth an astonishing $2,000 - although not travel to the venue, it seems).

If you've only just heard about this, you may just have time to enter the third qualifying round (you'll need to join or be a member of the Fabric Community to do this) and can certainly participate in the fourth and final qualifying round. Submissions can score a maximum of 30 points as follows:

Category	Subcategory	Points
Insightfulness	Clarity of insights Relevance of insights	5 each
Visual effectiveness	Simplicity and cleanliness Effective use of text and colour Appropriateness of visual elements	3 for the first two, 4 for the last one
Accessibility	Tab order Alt text provision Colour contrast	3 for the first two, 4 for the last one

Report design in Power BI (or any other software application) is inherently subjective. Probably the best tactic is to look at the entries from the first week that the judges liked, and try to reproduce their style. The competition won't test your data modelling or DAX skills (otherwise we would be a bit more enthusiastic about entering!).
