An entire year in the making, the #EBGameChanger awardees for 2020 were nominated and confirmed by the EB editorial team and the EB Editorial Advisory Board of experts.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the EB team made an innovative pivot from the standard in-person photo shoot for the awards. The 2020 awardees were photographed virtually by top Los Angeles photographer Jurgen Reisch, who worked with the EB team + the award winners utilizing the CLOS photo app to access the awardees’ iPhones to set up the shots and press the shutter remotely.
