Prizes, Prizes, Prizes!

With the postponement of the 25th Congress and General Assembly of the IUCr until August 2021 in Prague, there will be a delay of a year before the Ewald Prize, the inaugural W. H. and W. L. Bragg Prize and the Commission on Electron Crystallography's Gjønnes Prize can be presented. The committees responsible for selecting the prize winners have each reached a conclusion and as there is a shortage of uplifting news available at present, the Executive Committee of the IUCr has decided that we should announce the winners of these prizes this year on the IUCr website, Newsletter and social media. Each announcement will be accompanied by interviews with the winner(s) and a short video from the IUCr President, starting with the 2020 Gjønnes Prize on Monday 27 July and followed by the inaugural W. H. and W. L. Bragg Prize on Wednesday 29 July and the Twelfth Ewald Prize on Friday 31 July. Be sure to come back on those dates to discover who the winners are and, amongst other things, what their greatest inspirations have been.
