2020 Theatre Critics’ Awards (previously called Alfréd Radok Awards), based on a survey conducted by the Svět a divadlo magazine, were announced on 3 February 2020. The names of the winners were declared by theatre critics Vladimír Mikulka and Jakub Škorpil in a short stream from the Konečná buffet in Čimčice. The award for the Best Theatre 2020 went to Cirk La Putyka – the company received a special honour for its #kulturunezastavis initiative and other cultural activities in the time of COVID-19 pandemic.
