Prix Europa became a digital edition and SVT competed with seven programmes. Documentary series Gold Fever and The Great Moose Migration (Online Media) both got special commendations, where the latter was described by the jury as “perfect corona-therapy and zen for the nature watcher.“ Caliphate also got a special commendation with the words: "a great, thrilling sensational drama and a bold political commentary at the same time. One of the best series of the last year in the world.“ Mission Investigate: The Arla Farm, Witnesses (Documentary) and The Beautiful Game and Josefin & Florin in the Iris-category were other nominations. With the latter also winning the category.

SVT scooped three nominations at Prix Jeunesse with Trex, World's Worst Diseases and Crafts Masters, but lost out to French Shooom’s odyssey and German Anna and the Wild Woods.
