I am delighted to announce the winners of the 2020 PEMPix competition. Each year the AAP Section on Emergency Medicine awards two prizes - one chosen by the audience, which was a secure online vote by members of the Section on Emergency Medicine this year, and the other by the panel of judges who helped to select the finalists. The judges voted on their favorite case in an anonymized fashion prior to publication of the cases. The winners of the Audience Award and Judge's Award will receive an honorarium from the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Emergency Medicine
