Support Category Awards are presented to individuals, companies and organizations that are an integral part of crafting an image. These awards are not for photographers but for those who support the photography community.
The public is invited to nominate those from the photography creative community to be considered for this honor. It is from these nominations that the individuals, companies or organizations will be awarded at the Biennial Lucie Awards. A photographer board will be voting on all the nominations to choose the Final Support Category honoree in each of the given disciplines.
