The EVVY Awards is like no other college production in the country. Modeled after professional shows such as the Emmys and Oscars, The EVVY Awards has become the largest multi-camera, live switch event any school has to offer. This award winning show has become nationally recognized with a first place award at the national Association of college broadcasters awards and has received two national Telly Awards. Throughout the year, student work can be submitted in a wide variety of categories, creating a very competitive environment right here on campus. These submissions are then sent out to local and national professional judges in their respective field to ensure a fair and experienced judging process. Notable past judges have included Rachel Dratch of Saturday Night Live, Wendey Stanzler, a director from Grey's Anatomy, and Matt Cheese, editor of Finding Neverland. Previous on stage appearances have included Sean Hayes of Will and Grace, Rich DiPirro, creator of Deal or No Deal, Denis Leary, Gregory Hines, Matt Lauer and John Cusack. The EVVY Awards is not only an award show, it is also a student run organization which provides an adequate learning experience for hundreds of Emerson students. Throughout the year, students can be reassured that they will be taught by using hands-on experience, how to succeed in the professional world. No matter what age, or major, The EVVY Awards will have something for you.
