Well Team Apollo are so busy that we haven’t had a chance to get our conversation done, so I’m pre-empting what was going to be an interview with them and give you the exciting news and a link to a detailed article at SciFi Talk. Two of my peeps, Melanie Teychenne-King and Peter Budd (aka Missy and Pete) have launched the Apollo Awards.
“101010 Productions have partnered with Australia’s award winning production and web entertainment companies TPD Media and Zone4 to introduce a worldwide Film and Television award ceremony unique to the internet…
Peter Budd, Director of 101010 Productions said, “What makes The Apollo Awards unique is that the choice is truly and firmly in the hands of the worldwide audience. From the Americas and Europe to Africa, Asia and Oceania, both nominations and votes are in the hands of the people”.
For this global alliance of fans, The Apollo Awards will be delivered online, live and worldwide, rather than through broadcast or cable TV.
Co-creator of the Apollo Awards, Melanie Teychenne-King says, “The internet is the future of television, of breaking down the barriers between regions and time zones. By streaming the award ceremony live across the globe we’re giving everyone the chance to participate on an even level, to know they have ownership of the show.”
