The Information is Beautiful Awards exist to recognize outstanding achievement in data visualization. The awards for 2015 have been announced. The Gold Awards goes to Dov Friedman and Tynan Debold for a series of charts at the Wall Street Journal called Vaccines and Infectious Diseases. They strikingly show the effect of vaccines on the number of cases for several different diseases. The chart for measles is shown here. Other awards go to data visualizations about languages, politics, climate change, education, and more. See them all at the awards page, and since many of the winners are interactive, you’ll want to go to their sources to explore them. -via Metafilter
