The Video Services Division of the Department of Communications Information and Technology recently received professional awards for four of its productions. The Videographer Awards is a national awards organization that helps set the standards for the video production industry. The Award of Excellence is presented for projects that clearly exceed industry standards. The video, which is used by the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health to train food service workers, was translated into Chinese and Spanish. The Telly Awards, founded in 1980, showcase outstanding non-network and cable TV commercials and programming.
Entries compete against a high standard of excellence rather than each other.
