(ALLENTOWN, PA) The 2010 Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmy Award nominations were announced at simultaneous events in Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on Tuesday August 17th.
The Bar Association of Lehigh County (BALC) production of OneFace.me, created by eMediaWorks, received an Emmy nomination in the category of Children/Youth/Teen (19 and under) Program or Special.
"This nomination is a wonderful example of what happens when multiple organizations work together and tackle serious issues facing society. None of this would be possible without the support of the Verizon Foundation, the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation, the membership of the Bar Association of Lehigh County and all video participants" noted BALC Executive Director Dan LaBert. "Dr. Teri Haddad's eMediaWorks production company developed our concept into pure gold!"
The 28th regional Emmys, honoring work from stations and individuals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, will be held Sept. 25 at Loews Philadelphia Hotel.
