The Chicago/Midwest Chapter has informed me that an NTC student program, "Top Shelf Sports," has been selected for a 2009 Student Production Nomination from the Television Academy, the producers of the Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards. This is the first time the Academy has conducted a student competition and the nomination represents an unprecedented level of recognition by a professional organization.
Chicago/Midwest Emmy Nominations were announced at a dinner in Chicago on Thursday, October, 1, 2009. Student entries were submitted in five television categories from colleges and universities in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The NIU nomination is in the category of "College Student Production-Sports." The 2009 Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards Ceremony itself will be held in Chicago on November 7th.
