    The Telly Awards honor the very best local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and work created for the web. The program has been running since 1978, and judges sift through thousands of entries from all 50 states as well as five continents. The Telly is one of the most sought-after awards by industry leaders.

    The eight awards include four Silver Telly's (the highest honor) for Use of Graphics, Art Direction, Lighting and Set Design in the Non Broadcast Production category, and four Bronze Telly's in the Education (for academic use), Use of HD, Editing and Sound/Sound Design also in the Non Broadcast Production category.

    "It's an honor to be awarded something as prestigious as eight Telly's, especially when you know you are evaluated with such a high standard of excellence," said CaerusPoint CEO Kobie Pieterse. "It really puts a smile to your face when you are holding a 4 ˝ lb statuette that was designed by the same firm that makes the Oscar® and Emmy®."

    "We're extremely proud of our series, and it's great to see industry experts recognize it as an award winner," added CaerusPoint President Chris Botha.
