Golden Lens 2024 Nominees
Meet Our Official Judges
We are honored to present the official judges for the Annual Golden Lens Awards 2024, who will help us select the best of the year at Inspiration Photographers. The Golden Lens Awards, organized by the Inspiration Photographers Association, is considered the “Oscars of the global photography and filmmaking industry.” Being part of this prestigious jury is a privilege reserved for a select few, and each judge was chosen for their reputation as a leading inspiration in their field.
How Does Voting Work?
The Golden Lens Awards’ voting system combines various factors to ensure that the nominees’ talent and dedication are fairly recognized. The final score is determined by the following elements:
- Awards (photo or film): Each award won throughout the year counts for 1 point.
- Awarded Collections: Each awarded collection throughout the year counts for 3 points.
- Member Votes: Each vote from association members is worth 0.5 points.
- Official Judges’ Votes: Each judge’s vote carries special weight, counting for 5 points.
The final score will be the sum of awards earned during the year, votes from association members, and the judges’ votes.
Main Categories
- Photographer and Filmmaker of the Year: Veteran professionals who best represent talent, quality, and camaraderie, serving as true inspirations to the community.
- Revelation of the Year: Professionals who recently joined the association and stood out globally, without any prior nominations.
- Best Collection and Film of the Year: All collections and films that scored the maximum rating in any round during the year are eligible.
Additionally, Inspiration Photographers awards trophies to the three most-awarded professionals of the year, based on the total points earned across all rounds.
The Golden Lens Awards is traditionally celebrated at a gala event.
