Digital Media Awards Worldwide 2021
WAN-IFRA's Digital Media Awards Worldwide is the news media industry's truly global digital media competition.
The 2020 winners came from the winners of our regional editions in Africa, Asia, Europe (2019 & 2020), Latin America, the Middle East (2019 & 2020), North America and South Asia, which together provide news publishers with regular showcases for the best-practice innovation in digital publishing worldwide. The regional awards are evaluated by local juries and then later in the year, a different set of judges examines all the winners across the regions and selects the best of each category for the Digital Media Awards Worldwide.
