TELLURIDE TV’S 1ST VIDEO AWARDS

29 Jul TELLURIDE TV’S 1ST VIDEO AWARDS

Created in 1986, the mission of Telluride TV, originally TCTV12, remains, in a nutshell, to celebrate Telluride’s culture by capturing its vitality and connecting citizens to on another through media arts education, community-based content, and access to broadcasting. Under the leadership of executive director Katie Karow, Telluride TV is on its way to becoming the hippest, funkiest media source in the community, the visual analog to KOTO Community radio whose core values the station continues to mirror: non-profit, non-commercial, locally managed and operated, community-focused, citizen-driven, innovative, and reflecting a diversity of interests and viewpoints.

Saturday, September 22, 2012  Telluride TV hosts its First Annual Video Awards competition. The live-streamed, red carpet event takes place at the Sheridan Opera House at 7:00 p.m., where the party includes libations, food and dancing.

Cash prizes and a custom trophy created by local artist Lisa Issenberg will be given for Viewers Choice – the winning film in this category will be shown at the Telluride Film Festival’s Sunday at The Palm in October –  Best Student Film, Funniest, and Best Overall/Judges pick.
