Sono state annunciate le nomination per l’edizione 2020 degli UKMVA, che prevede ben 37 premi. Un’ampia giuria – di cui abbiamo fatto parte anche noi, in quanto media partner dell’evento – ha selezionato 6 candidati per ciascuna categoria, mentre una giuria speciale ha votato per i vincitori, che verranno annunciati alla fine di ottobre, probabilmente con una cerimonia virtuale.
Vediamo allora nel dettaglio le shortlist.
