2021 Jackson Wild Media Awards Announced
Media today deepens understanding of the world around us, inspires commitment to protect and restore the natural systems upon which all life depends and empowers the radical changes that will be required to do so. Nature film’s equivalent to the Oscars®, the Jackson Wild Media Awards™ celebrate excellence and innovation in nature, science and conservation storytelling.
This year’s submissions include over 750 category entries from nearly 30 different countries. Finalists were selected by more than 150 international judges who together screened over 3,000 hours of media.
A distinguished panel of final judges from around the globe selected the 2021 Jackson Wild Media Award Winners directly prior to the Summit.
Winners were announced during the Jackson Wild Media Awards Ceremony , Sept. 30, 2021.
What a week it has been!
Today's live Grand Teton Awards Ceremony concluded our first 2021 Hybrid Summit in great Jackson Hole style, bringing leading filmmakers, conservationists, scientists, and journalists together to celebrate excellence and innovation in media as we celebrate the 30 years since our community first convened. All sessions, keynotes and screenings will be available on-demand through October 15th, if you missed anything--there was a LOT going on! We are committed to creating more special purpose-driven and content rich events in the coming months to build on the momentum of those provocative sessions as we work together to accelerate change and amplify the important work that is underway. We're eager to hear your ideas as we develop ongoing collaborations with this in mind!
Thanks to our 2021 Partners
