Keine Frage, 2020 war ein Jahr wie kein anderes. Auch die prestigeträchtigen AV Awards, die jährlich die besten AV-Projekte und Unternehmen der Branche ehren, blieben von der Pandemie nicht verschont. Anstatt einer großen Gala im Event-Center Evolution London im Herzen des Battersea Parks veranstaltete der Initiator der Awards, das AV Magazine, eine virtuelle Verleihung. Ungewöhnliches Highlight war dafür in diesem Jahr der Sonderpreis „AV in Action“, der von den Lesern gewählt wurde und besondere Leistungen während der Pandemie würdigt. Diesen konnte das Mapping-Projekt iMapp Bucharest mit seiner Kampagne „One World. One Heart“ gewinnen.
