​2020 AWARDS - CALL FOR ENTRIES


It's the most wonderful time of the year....time to start getting your entries together for the 2020 IRN Awards in association with Sky News.!
 
The national headlines have been dominated by Brexit, a change of Prime Minister, a general election campaign, terror attacks in London, Sri Lanka and New Zealand and a bittersweet year for the Royal family. But it's the stories that you invest in, the wide-ranging investigations, the news-making interviews and the special features which resonate with your audiences and make an impact.
​
