The Eclipse Awards, sponsored by WKTV with the West Michigan Film Video Alliance, announce the nominees for 2015. Forty-eight unique entries were submitted for review by judges across the globe.
The Eclipse Awards showcase the best in West Michigan’s film, video, and television community. An Eclipse is awarded to locally produced media for outstanding work in the crafts and several primary categories. The mission of the Eclipse event is to inspire and enhance the West Michigan “voice” in mediums of television, film, sound, and web, and to be recognized for excellence among international, national, and regional judges.
New this year is the Hyperion Award. The Hyperion is the light behind the Eclipse, or better yet, the person behind the production community; setting an example by their craftsmanship or pushing it forward; urging it on by their own example and creative energy.
The Hyperion Award is a peer nominated award from craftspeople working throughout the industry.
Winners will be announced at The Eclipse Awards ceremony Excellence in Craft Thursday, May 7, 2015.
