Producing Ohio Wins "Classic" Telly Award

CET's Producing Ohio has won a Gold Award, or "Classic Telly," in the 25th Anniversary Classic Telly Awards, a showcase for recognizing outstanding non-network film, video and commercial productions.

Entries for the 25th Anniversary Tellys were judged against a high standard of excellence rather than against each other, and the winners came from an international cross-section of agencies, production companies, television stations, corporate video departments and cable operations.

Created through a collaboration of CET and Economics Center for Education & Research, Producing Ohio is an interactive multimedia curriculum that helps students in fifth and sixth grades learn more about economics and prepare for Ohio diagnostic and achievement testing. The project was funded by a grant from Ohio Educational Telecommunications Network Commission.
