Daily Xtra’s four-part series on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been nominated for a Rockie Award at the Banff World Media Festival. PrEP: Can This Pill Prevent HIV? is up for an award in the Webseries Nonfiction category.

The winner of the award will be announced during the Banff World Media Festival, which takes place June 8 to 11 in the Alberta resort town.
