After many hours of viewing and many more of fervent discussion the shortlists for the shots Awards 2011 are here. There has been a huge amount of fantastic, creative work by a host of fantastic, creative people and companies between issues 125 and 131 and it has been a massive undertaking to whittle the field down this far.
However, it doesn't stop there. Our panel of international judges - which will be announced in full later this week - will soon have the task of whittling yet further. Their decisions will ultimately bring forth the winners of each category, winners which will be announced in issue 133 of shots.
The one category that you all have a say in is the shots Audience Award. Combining the shortlists for TV Commerical of the Year, Interactive Campaign of the Year and Branded Short Film of the Year, you can, via Twitter, vote for your favourite piece of work from those three shortlist. Just tweet us on @shotsmag and begin your message with #voteshots and then the name of the piece of work you wish to vote for.
All of the commercials on the Audience Award section are free to view for a limited period to registered shots users (it's free to register, just click here to do so), with the rest of the commercials available to shots.net subscribers.
