Head judge, British photographer and director Rankin, said 2026 "feels like the strongest year yet" for the awards, which began five years ago.
"The quality of the work entered was genuinely exceptional - not just technically brilliant, but full of energy, emotion and a real point of view."
He added: "Music photography is in a really exciting place right now, and these awards are a brilliant snapshot of that."
This year's guest category celebrates 50 years of punk.
It was previously announced that photographers Roberta Bayley and Masayoshi Sukita will both receive special recognition on the night.
The judging panel includes artists from around the worlds of music and photography, including Chic guitarist and producer Nile Rogers and Brit Award-winning singer Raye.
