Academy. No, really the Telly organization, some organization that requires you to pay money to enter a television news story/promo contest in which you might win an honor. So, I paid some money, entered a promo about a local Egghunt Eggstravaganza, won the honor just above honorable mention, then paid money to receive a statue that actually feels heavy, and therefore, must be worth something. Also, even though the award is bronze, it looks gold so I can pretend I won first place even though the organization doesn't give out gold awards...but the average person doesn't know that.
I was a little bummed because a story I entered about a person who survived a house fire was a better piece and didn't win. That story and the person's family are worthy of an honor.
Back to making fun of the award, which, by the way, also makes a good drum. I've joked that I'll put the statue on the back of my toilet because all the big stars put their awards in the bathroom. The cool thing is that the overpaid makers of these awards also make the Oscars and Emmys. I'm so close baby, so close...

Congrats on the award!
I'd choose an Egg Hunt over a house fire anyday;)
