The Judging Process

The shots awards have jury heads for different categories, or groups of categories, and they and their fellow jury members decide both the shortlisted work and the eventual winners. Further to this, points will be allocated to shortlisted and winning work, and the respective companies involved in making that work, to ascertain the winners of the company and people categories [listed below].

• Shortlisted work: 1 point
• Bronze winning work: 3 points

• Director of the Year
