New venue for Awards ceremony

Winners be will be announced at the awards ceremony on 22 June 2010. This year's event will be held for the first time at Kings Place, London, a new mixed-use creative hub near Kings Cross and St Pancras stations, a massive area of regeneration.

The One World Media Awards will be the first major media awards ceremony to be held at Kings Place since its opening. Designed by celebrated architects Dixon-Jones, Kings Place brings together under one roof a rich combination of public areas, arts spaces, and offices.

"The world is smaller, more together and yet massively more divided since Sept 11th. This is why we need the One World Media Awards more than ever before."
