Our 2022 New Year's Design Challenge brought in amazing Power BI entries from many countries including the United States, United Kingdom, India and France. Thank you to all of our participants for your time and effort spent creating your entries. We learned new insights from each of your reports, including which types of resolutions are made most often, which generations tend to stick with their resolutions longer, and how success rates vary by demographic.
At Numerro, we value design and the impact it can have on visualizing information. We love hosting challenges as an opportunity to showcase the stunning design skills within the Power BI community. For this challenge, we selected 2 winners. One for the Power BI report with the best design that uses Numerro components and the other for the best design that does not use Numerro components.

We're excited to announce a new Power BI Design Challenge to kick off 2022 in style. Our first challenge was an amazing success that evoked key learnings to help us improve the challenges moving forward. This new challenge will be available to ALL Power BI users, not just Numerro's customers. Whether you're a Power BI novice or expert, we want to give you a chance to show off your design skills to the Numerro and Power BI communities.

Setting resolutions for the New Year is an ancient tradition dating back to the Babylonians around 4,000 years ago. Many of us continue to set resolutions today as a way to reflect on our past and set goals for the future based on things we want to do differently or improve upon. We thought the fresh start of a New Year provides the perfect theme for this challenge.
With this challenge, all rules are off the table. You are free to use your creativity to tell a story about any topic relating to New Year's resolutions. You can use any dataset you'd like. If you need some inspiration to get the juices flowing, here are some sample questions & datasets to investigate that may help you win!
Sample Datasets:
We will be selecting 2 Winners. One Winner will be selected for the Power BI report with the best design that uses Numerro components. The other Winner will be selected for the Power BI report with the best design that does not use Numerro components. Winners will be selected based on the following criteria:
Best of luck! Even if you don't win, hopefully you had fun, learned something new, and your report may still be featured by us on social media!
