Village Wins National Awards for Videos

At their 2021 Annual Conference, the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) announced that the Village won in two separate categories for the following video titles: 

A Bee's Eye View - With the help of a special guest, our video team shows how the Belmont Pollinator Garden developed from a vacant open area into a thriving habitat for pollinators.

Judges comment:

• "This video is an adorable and fun way to talk about a normal subject. The sense of humor gave the audience a buzz."

Virtual Night at the Fire House - A series of six informative videos produced on various fire safety topics, with the goal of emulating the energy and excitement of the in-person event that was canceled in 2020 due to COVID. 

Judges comments:

• "The Fire Fashion Show had an entire judging team enthralled. Hilarious!"
• "Good use of graphics and texts to explain how to use the extinguisher."
• "I find this just as engaging as an in-person event, which is so difficult to do through a video."

The Savvy Awards, recognize outstanding local government achievements in communications and public-sector marketing. Over 800 entries in 40 categories were received. and 72 first-place Savvy Awards were presented. 

Congratulations to all who worked on these successful projects with special thanks to Production Coordinator Chris Derylo.
