The Hugo Television awards are part of the Chicago International Film Festival and are awarded only to outstanding productions that achieve effective communications through technical excellence and creativity.
One of the most prolific and influential elements of the lives of millions, television has become a fixture of the American experience. The Hugo Television Awards have honored the important events, beloved personalities, and inspiring ideas that have shaped the unforgettable moments of television. Every year the most innovative members of the television industry submit their work to the Hugo Television Awards to be recognized as a leader in the field. Now is the time to be recognized for your part in influencing the ever-advancing field of television.
The Hugo Television Awards will continue to raise the standard of quality in all aspects of the medium. With new and exciting approaches continually influencing television programming and commercials alike, the Hugo Television Awards pay tribute to those who push the envelope and display mastery of their craft. And, only the most entertaining and informative work is awarded our top prize, the Gold Hugo. This year, we're proud to honor two companies with the Commitment to Excellence Award, for their outstanding contribution to the medium of television.
The Hugo Television Awards mission is to recognize the enormous technical and creative energy behind television commercials and productions and to highlight their importance in communications. Each year, we assemble panels of distinguished media professionals to judge our competitive categories. To insure fully qualified appraisals, we select judges who are familiar with the industry and intended audience of each entry. All aspects of the production's technical execution are evaluated for professionalism, creativity, and effectiveness in achieving its goals. The production budget is carefully considered; a resourceful use of limited funds is highly valued by our judges. Entries are judged against others in the same category, but judges have the right to recommend that no award be given in a category if entries do not meet the award criteria. In the event of a tie, two awards may be presented. Our annual list of winners is circulated around the world to distributors, educators, potential clients, and the press to insure winners receive maximum recognition.
We’re really chuffed that Sesame Tree won such a prestigious award in the ‘Children’s Series’ category.
