shots Awards 2017 Shortlists Announced
All the shortlisted work, companies and people for the shots Awards 2017 can be found right here.
Such is the quantity and quality of creative work entered by agencies, production companies, VFX and editing houses around the world, the pre-judging of the shots Awards is always an extremelly difficult task. And 2017 has been no different.
But we aren't ones to shy away from tough decisions and have managed to pare down the multitude of entries to shortlists of the best, most creative and innovative international work from the past 12 months.
Luckily for us, the even more onerous task of selecting the best from a brilliant bunch falls to our selection international jury members.
You can see the shortlists below and if you would like more details on the work, or would like to view the entries, please click here to do so. Congratulations to all shortlisted companies and people.
The eventual winners will be announced at the shots Awards ceremony which takes place on November 8 at The Brewery London.
