Beverly Local Access TV Station Wins 17 Awards

To encourage freedom of expression, to provide a place for community members to gather and learn, to support Beverly community members in their effort to communicate: these are the three goals that local access TV station, BevCam, strives toward.

And the station’s work to accomplish these goals has paid off.

BevCam recently won 17 awards at the Alliance for Community Media (ACM) Northeast Region 2013 Video Festival Competition.

Videos judged at the AMC competition came from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Among the station’s awards were six videos that placed first in their categories. BevCam won recognition in 11 categories, including: School/Educational Program, Science/Health/Sprituality, Student Programming, Arts and Theatre, Community Impact, Documentary Profile, Documentary Event, Issues and Political Process, Music and Performance, PEG Promo/PSA and Local Attractions.

The station’s School House Talk, which can be viewed on BevCam’s YouTube channel, won third place in the schools category. The video was created and directed by Beverly High School students and features Beverly High School staff.

This is the type of programming BevCam strives to produce. School House Talk, and the 16 other videos that earned awards, is the result of an effort by BevCam staff to facilitate communication and learning for Beverly residents.
