Open for entries

2026 Entries are now open

The shots Awards The Americas spotlights the very best work from across North and South America, as well as showcasing some of the most talented individuals, inspirational teams and successful companies from across the industry.

The quality of entries submitted into the awards is exceptionally high, and selecting the shortlist extremely difficult. For this task, we have expert juries comprised of renowned international creatives, who annually pore over each entry, to seek out the very finest work and make those crucial decisions, on who and what goes on to be awarded.

The 2026 juries will be announced over the coming weeks.

Winners will be announced at an in-person ceremony held this year at Avalon, Hollywood on 23 April 2026. Tickets for the ceremony will go on sale in February 2026.
