Censorship, shaming and disinformation on social media

As the siege on Capitol Hill has demonstrated, moderating social media is no longer a luxury. 
2. Three prizes will be awarded: a first prize of $1500 plus a Certificate from the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, a second prize of $750 and a third prize of $500. All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an Award of Excellence, which are not remunerated.
