The Stoppies 2020: All the Winners

The votes are in! StopPress readers have had their say and we’ve got all The Stoppies 2020 results.

While the challenges of 2020 and Covid-19 meant that a physical event was out of our reach, we were determined for The Stoppies to go ahead, albeit digitally.

Across the 16 categories we invited single-entry votes with two winners in each category: the People’s Choice and the Overall Winner as determined by the StopPress editorial team.

Over 1,100 votes were cast as the StopPress team took a trip down memory lane to see who and what got us talking in 2020.
