The Tellys recognize excellence in video and television across all screens. We’ve always honored work regardless of which distribution channels it’s made for – across business, branding, broadcasting, social media, and the arts. For the 48th Annual Telly Awards, we’re adding an array of new and expanded categories that allow you to enter your work in more ways, and with more specificity, than ever before. Here’s everything you need to know.
New Season 48 Categories: We’ve added new Microseries categories including Branded Entertainment, Vertical Cinematography, and Book Adaptation and expanded our Generative AI honors. Shows and Series work expands to include Sports Documentary, International Conflict & Reporting, and Virtual Production. Commercial & Marketing now includes Brand Activation & Pop-Up and Multicultural Marketing and Social Video includes Social Commerce & Live Shopping.
The People’s Telly Awards: This is where work from every category gets a chance to win several bests (director, micro-budget, editing, etc.) across all entries, while gaining massive, worldwide exposure on our public voting platform. Entries are shortlisted by our judges, but winners are chosen entirely by the voting public, i.e., our global community of influential creators and executives. Enter now to get a second wind for a campaign you’re proud of, or get even more (many more!) eyes on work you care about.
The Best of the Tellys: One organization will be named Media Company of the Year, the Tellys’ highest distinction, by collecting the most Gold, Silver and Bronze honors across all categories. Our Production Company of the Year award is also back, recognizing the production house that achieves the most success across all media types, regardless of size or name recognition. This year, we’re adding a new Agency of the Year honor, recognizing excellence and versatility across genres.
