2026 shots Awards: The Americas announces this year’s winners at Avalon Hollywood.
Staged at new venue Avalon Hollywood and hosted by comedian, actor and writer Chinedu Unaka, the sold-out ceremony recognised projects created between February 2025 and February 2026.
The winners and shortlist were all selected by a jury of industry experts from across the Americas advertising community. The People and Companies of the Year were also announced on the night, calculated via a points system where shortlisted work earned one point, bronze winners gained an additional three, silver five, and gold a further eight.
Bandit Edit’s very own Lucas Moesch took home the Silver award for Ad of the Year: Editing (Above Three Minutes) for Huggies “Little Fighter”! Up against an amazing collection of work from the past year, Bandit earned their flowers alongside Final Cut winning Gold for their 30-minute short film “The Tiger” for Gucci and Trafik winning Bronze for “They Stay in Your Ears” for Beats by Dre.
Congratulations to all the winners! Read the full list of winners and shortlisted entries HERE.
