The 46th Annual Telly Awards celebrates the creativity that emerges when Stories Take Shape in bold and innovative ways. Whether you are a brand creator, social media innovator, television veteran, or independent artist, we’re looking for work that uses traditional methods and new formats to outline the full spectrum of storytelling possibilities. Each season, the Telly Awards welcomes new community partners to our team. This year, we’re happy to welcome Portrait, Kinema and Seed & Spark to help us introduce a new suite of categories in Film & Shorts including options across narrative, unscripted, and more.

Each of these organizations works to connect filmmakers and brands across the industry with funding, community and distribution opportunities. Portrait is the vetted network for modern media and entertainment, helping members manage relationships, tap into contacts, and stay ahead in a fast-changing industry. Kinema is a social cinema platform for filmmakers and community builders. Seed & Spark  focuses on connecting people through stories that matter via story-centric crowdfunding, free education, impact distribution, community events, and workplace programs that cultivate a culture of equity and inclusion.

RSVP to join us for a virtual chat on Oct 24th at 1 pm EST to meet them and learn about ways to expand your film’s community and impact.
