About the Spider Awards
For nineteen years, Black & White Spider Awards has been committed to bringing you world-class Juries selected from the most influential names in the industry. Annually, a new jury pool is created to ensure the program’s reputation for recognizing first-movers, new emerging talent, and current trends across the industry.
Jury members are selected by exclusive invitation to join the international panel, and ballots are sent to log on, review the entries, and nominate their selections. Only by having the most extraordinary talent from both sides of the lens do we produce the intoxicating and diverse photography collections the awards are renowned for showcasing. The complete list is HERE.
