The media will indeed go to an outfit like that and scan down its roster to find out about web video. My main problem is that the awards are limited to episodic "shows". The requirements:
"Any original production produced for broadband distribution with at least three (3) episodes released in the 2008 calendar year can qualify for consideration. The show must also be easily viewed and available online, either via a major video sharing site or unique URL." That would rule me out (boo hoo) because I make documentary web TV sites that mix text and video within a CMS such as in http://PinePlainsViews.com and http://Hestakaup.com. I just resent the fact that they cannot be recognized for "outstanding achievement in web television arts and sciences" because they do not fit into a confining and arbitrary model. That's not why I got into broadband TV, just to ape the networks and Hollywood. I've already been there, done that. Broadband TV can be so much more! The publicity, and some recognition, though, would help make my efforts be sustaining by broadening the audience. Stan Hirson http://PinePlainsViews.com http://Hestakaup.com
