NYFWA’s Financial Follies becoming an all-video event

Financial Follies 2016

The Financial Follies, an annual fundraiser held by the New York Financial Writers’ Association, is going all video this year because of the pandemic.

The deadline for video submissions is Oct. 30. The show will be on Nov. 13.

The submission guidelines can be found here. The video that racks up the most re-tweets will be crowned the winner of the 2020 Financial Follies, complete with trophy and full bragging rights.

The black-tie-from-the-waist-up show will be free of charge, but donations to the NYFWA Scholarship Foundation are always welcomed. The scholarships support New York-area journalism students.
