The Telly Awards honors excellence in local, regional, cable, TV commercials, Non-Broadcast Video, TV Program.
The Israel Tennis & Education Centers Foundation announced Thursday that a video it produced has been nominated for a prestigious Telly Award by the video’s production company Audio Vistas LLC.
The Telly Awards, an award given by a New York-based name-sake organization, honors “the very best film & video productions, groundbreaking online video content, and outstanding local, regional, & cable TV commercials and programs,” as stated by their homepage.
The promotional Israel Tennis & Education Centers Foundation video was filmed at five of the foundation’s centers in Israel. It is a promotional video on presenting the impact that the tennis centers have on the lives of the children who use them from the children’s point of view.
“I knew a bit about the ITEC and how it serves so many young Israelis before I started the assignment,” said the film’s director Charles Wantman. “But I had no idea the level of support this organization provides any kid that walks through its doors. Their stories really made this project a labor of love.”
The Israel Tennis & Education Centers Foundation a not-for-profit organization that works to enhance the development of Israeli youth through sports. Since opening its first center in Ramat Hasharon in 1976, the ITEC has helped over 400,000 children in its 14 centers spread across Israel.
