This year, for the first time, the ÑH Awards – an annual competition promoted by the Spanish chapter of the Society for News Design – was extended beyond the Iberian Peninsula, with submissions from the top publications from Latin America as well.

Of these, 418 were digital-only news outlets, 368 magazines and 1.834 daily/weekly newspapers. The ÑH2016 jury awarded 239 medals – 18 Gold, 77 Silver and 144 Bronze. Overall, the great winners were La Nación (Buenos Aires, Argentina, Best nacional daily; Las Provincias (Valencia, Spain, Best local/regional daily); Nuestro Diario (Guatemala, Guatemala, Best popular daily; Forbes (Madrid, Spain, Best magazine); and NexoJornal (São Paulo, Brasil, Best Digital Outlet). You can see all the winners here.
The ÑH were created in 2004 to promote infographic and editorial design in Portugal and Spain. And among this year’s awarded works, it’s great to see several that were shared in our gallery – with which we open this post. And of course, congratulations to SND-e and all the winners!
