Registration for the South Asian Digital Media Awards 2020 (SDMA) is now open.
Have you adopted innovative ideas to battle the information gap around COVID-19? If so, share it with WAN-IFRA that promises to bring it before the world through the latest South Asian Digital Media Awards 2020 (SDMA).
Participants can tell the organizers more about their project. Is it an awareness campaign to check the spread of the virus? Or a special column? A new section? WAN-IFRA will look into the entries to decide as per the awards guidelines.
The category is open to all publishers who have come up with new products, sections, interesting campaigns and more to fill the information gaps in the society as part of their fight against COVID-19. Entries should demonstrate how the problem was addressed and how the innovative use of resources and smart planning helped to quickly mitigate the challenged posed by the crisis.
