DNR Wins International Awards For Videography

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that the agency received two awards from the international Viddy Awards, judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), for outstanding achievement in video and digital production.

The DNR's Dispose Of Your Batteries Properly With E-Cycle Wisconsin video won platinum and the Engage In CWD Management video won gold. 

"The videos used across the DNR's social media platforms and by our media partners serve as critical tools to help us educate and inform those we serve," said Katie Grant, DNR Communications Director. "We are honored to receive these awards, and will continue to engage with the public through visual mediums to support our work of enhancing and protecting Wisconsin's natural resources."

The Viddy Awards, formerly the Videographer Awards, is one of the most coveted
awards in the video industry. Since 1994, thousands of production and communication professionals have entered their best and most creative work. The goal of the Viddy Awards is to identify and recognize the video artisans who excel in the scope of their own environment. Winners range from network news operations to local cable access, from large production companies to freelancers, and from international advertising agencies to student producers.

The Platinum Award is awarded to those projects that the judges deem are written, produced, shot and/or edited in an exceptional manner. The Gold Award is
awarded for projects that exceed industry standards.
