Arquivo.pt Awards 2019 announced winners of the 2nd edition

The winners of the 2019 Arquivo.pt award are now known. The announcement was made yesterday, during the first day of the Science Meeting 2019 , at the Lisbon Congress Center, and the prizes for the three winners were presented by the Prime Minister, António Costa.

The first place went to the meuparlamento.pt project. This consists of a mobile application that simulates the Portuguese Parliament, by Nuno Moniz, Arian Pasquali and Tomás Amaro.

APP users are invited to play the role of a deputy and discover the party they most identify with, through the simulation of already archived plenary votes.

In second place was the revisionista.pt project, an online tool that allows you to reveal changes that may have been made to news after its first publication. This work was authored by Flávio Martins and André Mourão.

The work “Public speeches on violence in private” , by Zélia de Macedo Teixeira, was awarded third place. The project collected and analyzed 217 news items available from Arquivo.pt, from three main national daily newspapers, on the topic of domestic violence.

The prizes for the winners were 10,000 euros for 1st place, 3,000 for 2nd and 2,000 for 3rd. This year, the Arquivo.pt award received a total of 23 entries, and the 3rd edition is already being prepared, with the registration period taking place between January and May 2020.
