Last week, over 1,000 creatives from a range of specialties and backgrounds gathered online for Photoshop World 2024, held from September 24–26. The event was packed with insightful classes covering photography, Photoshop, and Lightroom, offering a wealth of knowledge, skill-building, and creative inspiration.
Since its debut in 1999, the Guru Awards have become a coveted honor within the digital imaging community. Each year, participants are encouraged to submit their work in various categories, with two finalists and one winner chosen per category. From these exceptional entries, a Best of Show winner is also selected. Many of these winners have gone on to achieve great success, with some even joining the ranks of KelbyOne instructors.
This year, we were once again amazed by the sheer creativity and talent on display. We invite you to join us in celebrating the outstanding finalists and winners of the 2024 Guru Awards!
