This year's winners
6th Annual Shorthand Award Winners
This year we celebrated stunning digital stories — and exceptional digital storytellers — from around the world at our second virtual Shorthand Awards.
We received almost 200 nominations across six categories, which were narrowed down to a shortlist, with the winners decided by our expert judging panel.
The submissions to the sixth annual Shorthand Awards were the most inspirational yet.
Thank you to all those who nominated a story or voted in the awards. A big thank you also to our judges: Dr Caroline Graham, Jonathan Crossfield, Bernie Borges, Meghan Ford, Scott Manson, and Megan Fleming.
