受新冠疫情的影響，LIA （London International Awards，倫敦國際獎）于 3 月 25 日宣布取消 2020 年倫敦國際獎和創意季。

以下是中文版公告：

由于當前全球爆發疫情，我們已決定取消 2020 年倫敦國際獎及創意季。我們將在 2021 年恢復。

我們行業因疫情受到重創，同時 Covid-19（新冠肺炎） 這個根本問題尚未解決，我們許多該行業的朋友和伙伴將面臨嚴重的經濟影響，我們認為假裝一切正常并且一切照舊是不合適的。為此，我們決定不開放 2020 年的報獎系統。

盡管我們也是一家企業，也會感到痛苦，但我們發現，當事實上有那么多人正處于并且將要承受痛苦的時候，我們很難去考慮嘉獎獲獎的作品。

2021 年，LIA 將回歸，并將再次嘉獎優秀的作品，教育和激勵行業的年輕創意人們，就像我們一直在做的那樣。

在這個時候采取行動是一個負責任的行為，符合行業的利益，這是 LIA 一貫主張的。在宣布這一決定時，我們想要做的第一件事就是讓業界對我們的決定有一個明確的認識，這樣你們就可以做出相應的調整。

最后，對于我們所有的朋友、客戶、同事以及他們的工作人員和家人，LIA 熱切希望他們都能保障安全和健康。

Barbara Levy 和 LIA 全體員工

以下是英文版公告：

We have made the decision to cancel our 2020 Awards Festival and Creative LIAisons program due to the current global health pandemic. We will resume in 2021.

Our industry is in a world of pain right now, and whilst Covid-19 is the driving issue, the economic impact to our many friends and partners in the industry is going to be severe and we think it inappropriate to pretend the world is in a normal place and it is business as usual. To that end, we have decided not to open our 2020 Entry System.

Although we are a business too, and will feel the pain, we find it hard to contemplate celebrating award winning work when in fact so many people are and will be suffering.

In 2021, LIA will return, and will once again celebrate great work and educate and inspire the young creatives of the industry, as we always have.

This is the responsible course of action to take at this time, and is in the interests of the industry, which is what LIA has always stood for. In making this announcement the one thing we want to do is give certainty to the industry of our intentions so that you can plan accordingly.

Finally, to all of our friends, clients, colleagues and their staff and family members it is LIA's fervent hope that all stay safe and healthy.  

Barbara Levy and the LIA Staff
