European Press Prize / Are We Europe
At 12 pm on June 11 2020, the European Press Prize announced the winners of the different awards of the year 2020, their website was completely transformed for the occasion. The concept of “Drumscroll” was introduced, presenting an interactive space, an immersive environment created to let users “experience journalism” in its wholeness.
The audience was able to join the European Press Prize’s jury in the journey from hundreds of submissions to the five winners of the awards: Investigative Reporting, Distinguished Reporting, Opinion, Innovation, and Special Award. Videos, pictures, and interviews related to the shortlisted articles were featured and, most importantly, the winning pieces, all of this to better understand journalism and build a stronger connection with the professionals behind each story. In order to contribute to this presentation, a series of visual podcasts were produced around the winning stories.
In times of quarantine and social distancing, “Drumscroll” was an opportunity to gather around one thing that keeps societies together: the stories of the people that live around us.
