ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
With the Covid-19 crisis evolving rapidly, the problem of international travel and quarantine issues are likely to persist for some time, and progress at different rates in different parts of the world. Should UK restrictions be relaxed by late November, the Foreign Press Association will go ahead with its annual awards ceremony and dinner. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to invite competition finalists to London to attend the awards night.
We shall keep the situation under review to see what might be possible and will support the three finalists in other ways if travel to London in November is not possible.
