Award Winners are the winners of awards at various award shows during SXSW.
Winners will leave the stage after their acceptance speech and be directed to a step and repeat located back of house at the awards show venue.
The Innovation Awards is the only awards show where you will be assigned to photograph winners on a step and repeat.
Arrive early to the event and seek out the point person listed on your assignment to locate the step and repeat. The point person may have someone who will assist you with wrangling the winners onto and off of the step and repeat.
Winners should be photographed on a step and repeat with their award. Names and company of those pictured should be recorded. We will send an assistant to help gather names for identification and captioning.
There are no studio lights set up; you will need to use flash.

When photographing award, make sure the arrow is pointing down and left (southwest) like the SXSW arrow logo and the writing on the award is not covered
Fun! Excited to be a winner! Super stoked!
