The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 to honor excellence in local, regional and cable television commercials, with non-broadcast video and television programming added soon after. The Telly Awards today also reflects and celebrates the exciting new era of the moving image on and offline.
Receiving over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and 5 continents, Telly Award winners represent work from some of the most respected advertising agencies, television stations, production companies, and publishers from around the world. The Telly Awards recognizes work that has been created on the behalf of a client, for a specific brand and/or company, or self-directed as a creative endeavor.
