Congrats to Harry Boomer and Debby Knox, two respected, veteran journalists and newest recipients of the coveted NATAS Silver Circle award.

EMMY NOMINATIONS EXPECTED APRIL 30th


NATAS logo
Thanks to the 112 peer judges from our chapter for judging entries from the Pacific Northwest Chapter and the Pacific Southwest Chapter.  We finished in excellent time.  The list of judges names is in the table below.  We will have more judging later this summer when we take on panels from the Chicago / Midwest, Rocky Mountain and Lone Star Chapters.  Look for panels to start forming in mid-July.

Where does that leave OUR entries that are being judged?  The last of the judging panels are finishing up this weekend.  The results will then be  tabulated with nominations to be announced April 30th.  Over 500 peer members of the above chapters have stepped up and watched over 150 hours of television to decide the fate of your entry.

If you judged, you are aware there is a procedure to challenge the entry.  Some judges occasionally just leave comments.  The challenges are reviewed by the awards committee and used to assess potential problems not caught during the review process prior to judging.

Here are a few of the comments with specific references deleted:

"I LOVE judging [this category] I get such great story ideas for my own work!"

"This entry is composed of two different packages which should have been submitted separately."

"There are a LOT of cuts between different elements in this entry... no time bug for me to tell where they are sampling from or how badly they are jumping."

"Seems to be lots of little minutes from throughout the day."

"This is a pitch reel!"

"This was uploaded into the wrong category, slate doesn't match the entry. (OOPSY!)"

"Is this really journalism... It feels more like ...advertising."

"This entry has... added information at the end that...was not originally aired as part of the series."

"My sense is that it is not a broadcast piece."

"This is a compilation of... stories that has nothing to do with (the category entered)."

"This has too much VO..."

"This is not a PSA its a commercial... I don't see how this is a PSA its a promo...This is not a promo."


Stay Tuned,

Bob Hammer & John Stealey "The Awards Guys"
