Architects Charlotte Skene Catling and Liam Young have joined the panel for the new Dezeen Awards 2021 media categories, which will reward excellence in the way architecture, interiors and design are communicated and promoted.

They will be joined by architecture photographer Fernando Guerra and writer and curator Priya Khanchandani.

Lead by filmmaker Gary Hustwit, the panel, made up of ten industry professionals from around the world, will assess projects in photography, video, visualisation and websites.

They will be looking for beautiful, engaging content and technical mastery across the five categories.

Self-shooting director with a background in arts documentaries Oliver Manzi is one of this year's media judges.

Manzi, who is also head of video at Dezeen, has delivered award-winning projects for brands including MINI, Adidas and Samsung, and co-directed the short documentary Elevation.

Swedish photographer and artist Jeanette Hägglund will also be on the panel and assess entries alongside Hustwit, Young, Catling, Guerra and Khanchandani.

Communications expert and illustrator Justyna Green will also join this year's new panel for the media categories.

Green, who also hosts the On Design podcast, has spent a decade in the design industry, helping businesses harness digital and visual media to create authentic and engaging stories so that they can communicate better and stand out from the crowd.

Award-winning director and designer Karin Fong, who works in film, television, and graphic design, has joined the panel of 10 experts.

Joining Fong is Swiss designer Micha Weidmann. He is the founder and creative director of his eponymous London-based art direction and design studio.

Weidmann designed the Dezeen logo in 2007 and created the graphics and animations for the inaugural Dezeen Awards 2018.
