The anticipation for the Amateur Motorsport Photography Awards 2024 judging and announcements is building, and we’re excited to share insights into the judging process that will determine this year’s shortlisted entries and winners. Here’s a closer look at how we’ll be conducting the judging and announcing the winners.
Judging Day: Friday, 13th December 2024
The judging for this year’s competition will take place at the home of motorsport, Silverstone Circuit, who are also one of our incredible sponsors. On this day, our esteemed panel of judges, composed of leading motorsport photographers and industry professionals will convene to carefully evaluate the entries.
What Happens on Judging Day?
Initial Review of Entries: The judges will begin by reviewing all submitted entries in detail, ensuring every image gets the attention it deserves. Each entry will be assessed against predefined criteria as outlined in the competition guidelines.
Shortlisting: After thorough evaluation, the panel will narrow down the entries to a select group of shortlisted entries. This shortlist will represent the best of the best from all those who entered. All shortlisted entries will also feature in our AMPA 2024 photo book, which is available to purchase from our store here.
Selecting Category Winners: With the shortlisted entries decided, the judges will then identify winners for each category. There will be three category winners in total, one from each category.
