Entries in any format, including print, film, audio, or digital media can be used to apply. Application for the award will end on July 30, 2020.
Entries will be evaluated based on the overall merit of the piece, with an emphasis on the relevance of the coverage, quality of the coverage, originality and creativity of the coverage, substance and accuracy of the coverage and impact and reach of the coverage.
Winners of the awards will be announced in October 2020.
