Full line-up announced for shots Awards The Americas 2024 judges

The deadline for entry to this year's shots Awards The Americas, which is sponsored by Syzygy, is on February 16th, only a handful of days away.

If being in with a chance of winning a coveted shots Award trophy wasn't reason enough to enter this year's event, then knowing that your work will be watched by some of the region's most celebrated creatives, directors, producers, editors, cinematographers, sound engineers, costumers and other talented craftspeople should surely tip the balance.
