The 65th Annual George Foster Peabody Awards recognize outstanding achievement and excellence in television, radio and Internet programming. Original broadcast, cablecast and webcast programs presented in 2005 are eligible. The entry deadline is Jan. 17, 2006. Entrants may apply online at: www.Peabody.Uga.Edu.
The Peabody Awards, established in 1940 and administered by UGA's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, are the oldest honor in television and radio. Today the Peabody recognizes distinguished achievement and meritorious public service by stations, networks, producing organizations, individuals and the World Wide Web.
Previous animation-related winners of Peabody Awards include THE SIMPSONS and DORA THE EXPLORER.
The Peabody Award, considered the most selective and prestigious honor for electronic media programming, is unique in that there are no categories for entry or nominations. Entries are judged by a 15-member board that includes television critics, industry practitioners, scholars and experts in culture and fine arts.
