New York City, NY — (June 25, 2007) The Winners of the 28th Annual Telly Awards have been announced. With a record 14,362 entries from all 50 states and around the world, this year’s competition has been the most competitive and successful in the long history of the Telly Awards.
Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest film and video productions, and groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.
This year’s Winners include companies, agencies and organizations of all sizes, from large multinational media companies to small ad agencies and local production houses.
(Captains Note: Strehle Media Group, Inc. president Keven Strehle and assistant camerman Jason produced a NW BackRoads segment from an Alaska Adventure with Classic Alaska Charters in Sept 2006, (see blog about NW Backroads Show Sept 06), that aired several times on King 5 TV starting Feb of 2007. The subsequent feature presentation DVD produced was submitted by Keven for Telly Awards in 3 categories, Direct Marketing, Photography, Nature & Wildlife. We won in ALL 3 categories to take home 3 Bronze National Telly Awards!!!)
A prestigious judging panel of over 40 accomplished industry professionals, each a past Winner of a Silver Telly, the top honor, judged the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents. Judges evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work – entries do not compete against each other – rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10% of entries are chosen as Winners of a Silver Telly, our highest honor. Other outstanding work is awarded a Bronze Telly.
Chairman of the judging panel, Richard Friley, the Emmy and Telly Award winning President of Friley Productions noted, “In my second year as judging chairman, I am again incredibly impressed with the remarkable level of achievement evident in the diverse pool of entries. It is a true accomplishment for all of the Winners to be recognized from such an outstanding body of work. ”
