The shortlist for the Mumbrella Publish Awards has been revealed for 2021.
The winners will be announced in a live virtual event on Thursday, September 9. Originally scheduled to be a gala dinner, the current COVID-19 situation in Sydney has necessitated a shift to virtual like the Mumbrella Awards, held last week virtually.
