2020-2021 Winners

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 EDies Awards Ceremony was not held. Instead, there was a 2021 EDies Red Carpet event celebrating both the 2020 and 2021 Recipients.

Since school visits were not possible in Spring of 2020 or 2021, the EDies did not award Schools of Excellence Awards during this time period.
