They include Global Citizen Prize for Philanthropy, Global Citizen Prize for Culture & Education and Global Citizen Prize for Activism.

Rian Bester, CEO of Insight TV, said: “Insight TV is honored to partner once again with Global Citizen for this important event. 2020 was a harrowing year for all of us, so it is particularly appropriate that we participate in an event that wraps up the year in a positive and heart-warming manner. This will be another first-class production made all the more impactful and inspiring when experienced in 4K UHD.”
