![Quirino Awards Are Online](/images/stories/events2020/quirino-awards-online-liga.jpg)
Due to the restrictions imposed by the governments to reduce the contagion of the COVID-19, many events already scheduled, had to adapt and migrate to the online environment. The Quirino Awards is one of them. It has been taking place on social networks since May 26th and will continue until June 27th, with the broadcast of the Awards event through the web.
We made a brief overview of what happened and what is yet to happen. And of course, all these encounters can be seen because they are, or will be, online. Enjoy!
