Archived News Release: September 18, 2018 - Community Television Network of Ann Arbor (CTN) has been recognized with several honors in the annual Philo Festival of Media Arts Awards. Over 150 entries were submitted this year from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan.
The awards and annual festival is named for Philo T. Farnsworth, the father of modern television. Farnsworth was born in 1906 on a farm near Beaver City, Utah. As a youth in 1922, he first revealed his scientific ideas for an all-electric television system. He later established an electronics laboratory in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he succeeded in turning his dreams into reality by inventing the first receiving tube for television transmissions.
ACM Central States Region honors Farnsworth's memory by recognizing the efforts of modern day pioneers who work to further develop the use of this technology and promote the use of media in our communities. The “Philo" is awarded as recognition of excellence in media creation
CTN and the other winners of the annual Philo Festival of Media Arts Video Competition are being honored at the CS-ACM annual conference in October in Alliance, Ohio.
