The shots Awards The Americas 2021 can today announce the eight jury heads who will be leading the search for the best, most creative work to come out of the Americas across 2020.

In a change from previous shots Awards, this event sees the introduction of jury leads for the different categories. These jury heads, along with their respective juries, the members of which will be announced soon, will judge work entered to the awards, from shortlisting through to final winners.

Initial viewing will be done remotely by each judge to ascertain the shortlists, with the respective juries then meeting on a video call to decide the gold, silver and bronze winners from each category
