BLOOMINGDALE, Ill., May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SMART Productions, Inc. announced today that its Spark 101 STEM SKILLS Video Series submission is a 2019 Silver Telly winner in the 40th Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honors excellence in video and television across all screens and is judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, and production companies including Vice, Vimeo, Hearst Digital Media, BuzzFeed, and A&E Networks.
SMART Productions is dedicated to developing video that serves the education marketplace. The company has created hundreds of programs that enhance professional development, teacher training, and online learning for textbook publishers, digital media corporations, education solutions and software companies, professional development providers, and institutions of education nationwide.
"We're proud to share the honor of the Silver Telly for Non-Broadcast Educational Video with 11 other companies, including HBO, Best Buy, and Drexel University," said SMART Productions President and Producer Jules Burke. "We're so thankful for our incredible group of production professionals and the 114th Partnership, along with their partnering education institutions and corporate funders who came together to contribute to this honor."
The Spark 101 STEM SKILLS VIDEO Program was developed by the 114th Partnership, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating programs that motivate students to engage in relevant high-growth, STEM-related career exploration and coursework.
"When we started working with SMART Productions 4 years ago, our STEM skills video products were still new. With their expertise in creating curricular resources, they helped us clarify production standards that still guide our product development today," said Tiffany Godbout, the 114th Partnership's President. "In addition, the professionals we work with at SMART are not only flexible but care deeply about the final product."
"This work has deepened our passion for creating quality, educational video," said Burke. "We're grateful for companies like Cisco Foundation, PMI Education Foundation, Sodexo, and Toyota USA Foundation that make projects like the Spark 101 STEM SKILLS VIDEO Program happen."
Last year, The Telly Awards attracted more than 12,000 entries from top video content producers including Condé Nast, Netflix, Refinery29, RadicalMedia, T Brand Studio, and Ogilvy & Mather.
