Awards Won by The Quint
Silver Award, Best Video Campaign on Facebook: Me, the Change
‘Me, the Change’ was an initiative by The Quint and Facebook that focused on first-time women voters in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Through this campaign, The Quint told the stories of ten women achievers from small cities and villages, who overcame their struggles to do something extraordinary and are now working to multiply this impact in their communities.
