shots Awards The Americas 2024 winners announced

Last night [May 2] was the shots Awards The Americas ceremony at which a host of work, people and companies from across north and south America were celebrated.

Held at the NeueHouse Hollywood and presented by comedian, actor and writer Chinadu Unaka, the sold out event celebrated the amazing work created between January 2023 and March 2024. 

Below you can find the list of all the winning and shortlisted work, each of which was chosen by a panel of industry experts from across the Americas advertising community. The people and companies of the year were also revealed at the ceremony, those winners being crowned via a points-based system which saw a shortlisted piece of work receive one point, a bronze-winning campaign receive an extra 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 awards site.

A big thanks to all those involved in the judging and to everyone who attended the night, and huge congratulations to all of those who picked up trophies at the event.
