The Guardian have been honoured with three commendations at The SIMA awards.
The Guardian’s VR project Sea Prayer, a powerful depiction commemorating the second anniversary of the tragic death of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned whilst attempting to reach Greece in 2015, won two awards; the best VR experience and also the immersive impact award.
Another Guardian VR experience, Limbo, an impactful piece on life for many asylum seekers in the UK waiting to hear about a decision on their status was also awarded in the best editing category.
The SIMA awards celebrate groundbreaking documentary filmmaking and VR experiences that ‘exemplify excellence in their potential to inspire social change’.
