The One World Media Awards this year come at an unusual time, as we face the Covid-19 pandemic.
In response to the exceptional work of journalists and filmmakers covering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries, One World Media is launching the Coronavirus Reporting Award 2020, supported by EBRD.
One World Media wants to champion stories that show us what is happening beyond our borders and spotlight international perspectives on the pandemic.
One World Media is looking for stories that show us the potential solutions, the urgent needs and the surprising implications of COVID-19 around the world.
The Award will be for a piece of media in any format, including print, film, audio, or digital media.
