The winners of AZURE’s annual AZ Awards have been announced as part of the competition’s 14th edition.
A select jury that included Julie Bargmann, the Guest of Honor at the recent AZ Awards Gala in Toronto, and nine others chose each winner from a group of submissions representing 42 countries. From that field, 23 winners were chosen, along with select People's Choice and Awards of Merit winners.
This is now the second consecutive year of the AZ Awards after they returned from a three-year hiatus with last year's 13th edition.
