Each year the Central Statistics Office (CSO) hosts an Awards Ceremony for students from around the country who take part in our competitions throughout the year.

It is an opportunity for us to celebrate the winners of the Award for the Best Use of CSO Open Data, the CSO Special Award for Use of Open Data at the Young Economist of the Year, and the John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition.
