Promonews will be publishing all the nominations again with production credits included from early next week.
Due to the fluctuating situation regarding the pandemic, and increased limitations on social gatherings to combat the spread of Covid-19 recently, it is now impossible to stage the ceremony with an audience at London’s Roundhouse this year as originally planned. But the organisers remain committed to celebrating the winners via a virtual ceremony with a live audience, details of which will be announced shortly.
