The closure of the WAD 2020 will happen, as every year, with the Award Ceremony of Antiracism - Tzanetos Antypas 2019 to an organization or a person for its contribution to the dealing with the issues of anti-racism and human rights. This year, the Organizing Committee of the WAD2020 decided to award the Union of Press Photographers Greece - EFE, for their contribution and support to vulnerable social groups, by their everyday work, opposing fascism, racist violence and promoting human dignity, sometimes by putting their own lives in danger.

The award was established in 2017 in the memory of the activist and founder of PRAKSIS organization, Tzanetos Antypas, where each year an organization or a person working on issues of anti-racism and human rights is awarded.
