No other awards have created a judges’ panel that is solely filled with potential clients for commercial photographers. From agency CDs and art buyers to client creatives and marketing professionals, to editors at some of the most well-known magazines in the world – this competition might just be the best and most global online portfolio review a photographer could ever have.
''I’m super curious to see who the winner and the finalist of this category will be, and the portfolio will be absolutely evaluated to see if it could be featured in any upcoming projects. '' Silvia Pavan, the Global Marketing & Communication Director of Giuseppe Zanotti Design Italy.
“Our Spotlight Awards give the opportunity to talented photographers to be directly visible to more than 50 of some of the most influential creative decision-makers around the globe. That is exactly what Production Paradise is all about – great imagery in front of great creatives,” says Catherine Delaloye, the General Manager of Production Paradise.
The awards will have a submission period from April 10th until July 17th, 2018. Photographers may submit imagery in 13 professional categories:
There are also two special categories: Shot on Mobile (Capturing an Authentic Moment) and Emerging Talent / Student (Every Picture Tells a Story).
Each category will have a single winner and all 50+ judges will choose a Grand Prize winner from the professional categories. There are over $60,000 worth of prizes, throughout 15 categories, with a chance for one photographer to win over $19,000 in prizes, including $5000 cash.
This is the first year of the Awards for Production Paradise.
