Awards will be given in
recognition of editorial content and video production creativity in original material
created primarily for consumption on non-traditional viewing platforms such as computers,
mobile phones, PDAs and similar devices. Judges will give significant weight to
the entrant’s utilization of advanced media capabilities (i.e. interactivity and
viewer’s choice of images) when determining award-worthy entries.
Examples of potential submissions
may be (but not limited to) vodcasts, podcasts, webcasts, video blogs, web-site
programs, including journalistic reporting, event coverage or event analysis, mobisodes,
video-on-demand content and any other form of material delivered over an IP network,
or platform, like wireless, broadband or VOD.
One award, more than one
award, or no award may be given to the person(s) directly responsible for the content
and execution of the program or segment. Content directors, managing editors, writers,
editors, graphic artists, video editors, directors, photographers, hosts, moderators,
anchors, reporters, assignment editors and qualified others may be eligible if their
contributions are significant to the entry’s award-worthiness. Enter 15 minutes
of complete program or a compilation not to exceed 15 minutes.
Additional rules and procedures
