Last night [November 24] was the shots Awards EMEA ceremony at which a host of work, people and companies from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa were celebrated as best in class across the last 12 months.

Held at 8 Northumberland in London and presented by comedian Suzi Ruffell, the show heralded a year's worth of amazing work, celebrating the creativity, ingenuity and expertise of the industry.

Below is a list of all the winning campaigns which were chosen by a panel of industry experts from the EMEA advertising community. The people and companies of the year winners were also revealed last night, those winners being crowned via a points-based system which saw a shortlisted piece of work receive one point, a bronze-winning campaign receive three points, silver winners picking up five extra points, and gold trophies adding a further eight points. 

You can watch all of the winning and shortlisted work on our dedicated Slate page, by clicking here.

All of the images from the night will be on the shots Facebook page from Monday.

Huge congratulations to all of those who picked up trophies at the event.
