Ed Sharpe of CouryGraph
Productions Wins
Bronze Telly Media Award
Phoenix, Ariz. Ed Sharpe, webmaster and board member for the Arizona
Council of Engineering and Scientific Associations, is the recipient of
the prestigious Bronze Telly Award for recognition of outstanding
programming. Sharpe oversees The Glendale Daily Planet - KKAT Streaming
TV, Glendale's homegrown Internet video news source. "I along with
members of Arizona's science and engineering community are extremely
proud of Ed and the outstanding work that he is doing in the City of
Glendale," states Everett Greenli, chair of ACESA.
The Telly Awards honors outstanding local, regional and national cable
TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film
productions. They annually showcase the best work of the most respected
advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable
operators and corporate video departments. The Telly Awards receives in
excess of 12,000 entries each year from 50 states and foreign countries.
Sharpe is also director of the Southwest Museum of Engineering,
Communications and Computation as well as director of CouryGraph
Productions.
Sharpe and CouryGraph Productions received the Bronze Award for a
14-minute movie documenting The Glendale Fire Department's Safety
House. The Glendale Fire Department Safety House Trailer was purchased
with a FEMA Grant and provides realistic training for youth and adults
on escape tactics from burning structures. Dennis Davis, volunteer for
the Glendale Fire Department and class teacher, travels around the city
to schools and adult centers introducing and refreshing people on the
wisdom of fire safety. This unique training aid is often on display at
Glendale city events. Davis, who teaches the fire safety class involving
this vehicle, was the subject of the video.
"It is an honor to receive a highly respected national award for work
in
publicizing events that take place in the City of Glendale," said Ed
Sharpe, Director for CouryGraph Productions and its subsidiaries.
"The
Telly awards highlight the high standards of excellence we wish to
achieve. In addition, it is our wish to provide our viewers with
information they can trust and enjoy."
In addition, earlier this year, The Glendale Daily Planet was the
recipient of a bronze Millennium Award and a Movie on Glendale Gaslight
Inn by CouryGraph Productions netted a Silver Millennium Award. The work
