NPT Wins Two CINE Golden Eagle Awards
Monday, 07 July 2008
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – July 7, 2008 – Two on-air broadcast promotional spots by Nashville Public Television (NPT) have won prestigious CINE Golden Eagle Awards. The two "Give the Gift of Membership" spots -- "Accordion Player" and "Out of Sync" -- were winners in the Promo Category, where they competed with entries from major broadcast and cable networks.

The two spots were part of a promotional campaign titled “Give the Gift of Membership” written, produced and directed by Hugh Brian O’Neill, NPT’s Director of Brand Management & Creative Services, filmed by Jim DeMarco and edited by Ed Jones. The campaign stars Nashville musician Michael Webb, whose character’s life is given renewed meaning after receiving the gift of NPT membership. “Out of Sync,” which also stars Nashville sound engineer Danny Polan, previously won a 2008 Mid-South Regional EMMY Award. Both spots can be viewed on the NPT Creative You Tube Channel at youtube.com/nptcreative .

Morris, a home-schooled Second Grader, has been awarded a national third place award in the Second Grade category in The14th Annual READING RAINBOW Young Writers & Illustrators Contest. Extraordinarily, his winning story, TRACTORMAN SAVES THE SAVANNAH, is the sequel to the story he won the national Grand Prize for in the First Grade category last year, TRACTORMAN SAVES THE RAINFOREST.  

This year, our landscaping hero and his compatriots, having tended to environmental concerns in the original book, turn their sights toward saving endangered animals in Africa. Morris’s winning national entry can be viewed, along with other winning local entries, at the NPT Parents & Kids section of wnpt.org.
