Telly Award Winning Videos
Two videos Leadership and Priorities by Robert K. Cooper, Ph.D. received the 2001 Telly Award
The Telly Awards was founded in 1980, to showcase and give recognition to outstanding television commercials and film and video productions. When the concept for the Tellys was born, David E. Carter was chosen to be the show administrator. He has published over 75 books on advertising and logos. This, combined with his strong TV background, (Clio winner, 7-time Emmy winner who produced many sketches for the Johnny Carson show) made him a natural choice to administer the competition. Over the past 21 years, the Telly Awards has become a well-known, highly respected national competition.
A major reason for the growth of the Telly competition is that entries do not compete against each other — but are judged against the highest standards of excellence. In 2001, there were over 11,000 nominees.
The Telly has become one of the most sought-after awards in the TV, commercial and video industry. The Telly statuette has even appeared on the set of many prime-time TV shows, such as thirtysomething, Murder, She Wrote, Newhart, News Radio, and most recently in the movie "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt.
