Regional Emmys
So one of my pieces got nominated for a regional Emmy, in the public service announcement category. Pardon my ignorance, but how big a deal is this? Most of my colleagues are pretty stoked about it, but I guess I'm missing something.

Be proud of it. This is the community of professionals working in TV and Advertising (and increasingly the Web) in your specific market - gathering to celebrate the people and businesses that do good work. No, of course it's not as prestigious as the national awards. But it IS definitely a sign that the hard work of you and your team is getting attention in your regional community. And there's nothing at all wrong with that. Also, in my opinion, the regional Emmys (because they involve local established businesses like TV and Radio stations) are largely free of the "pay to get an award" feeling that surrounds some of the other "awards contests" where a $100 entry fee collected from a thousand entrants results in the passing out of 500 $20 figurines. My 2 cents. FWIW.
Excellent thank you for the reply!
