The Telly Award is an award presented by the namesake, New York City-based organization designed to honor outstanding local and regional television commercials and productions, and non-broadcast video productions. It was founded in 1978 by David E. Carter.[1][2]

In each category there can be multiple winners (silver) and finalists (bronze). There is no stated limit to the number of winners or finalists in any given category. The Telly Awards web site lists thousands of winners annually. Official documentation provided to winners indicates that 7 to 10 percent of over 13,000 international entries receive Silver Telly Awards and 18 to 25 percent receive the Bronze Telly Award.[3] The official site lists no Bronze winners in any category for any year.[4] Winners are charged US$150 for their statue plus shipping and handling.[5]

The awards are judged by previous Silver Telly Award winners who have been accepted into the organization's "Silver Telly Council", and are selected by council members. The Telly Awards site indicates the judges are "top advertising and production professionals", but only council members can review the biographies of all the judges.[6] However, some member choose to post their biographies on the web.[7]

Once, the award was given to an interactive video of a fish tank, and the winning video was put up for auction on eBay.[8]
