Deandrea Hamilton’s Turquoise Morning has won two Silver awards and one Bronze in the 33rd Telly Awards for its shows on the Battle of the Bands, the World Travel Awards and the Haiti Reconstruction Forum.

“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, executive director of the Telly Awards. “Magnetic Media’s accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”

The local and Internet television show was a winner from among nearly 11,000 entries from all 50 United States and numerous countries.

The Haiti Reconstruction Forum show, sponsored by Turks and Caicos Islands businessman Harold Charles, got the nod in the News or News Segment category. During the sessions, it was described how companies can access the $2 billion in grant money coming from the Inter-American Development Bank which can contribute to the redevelopment of earthquake, hurricane and disease stricken Haiti.

“We gained and were able to share the tremendous insight and opportunities available in Haiti with our countrymen, the rest of the region including the Americas,” Hamilton said. “It is rare to see Haiti as the land of progress and an investment haven, but the experts and discussions we featured during the show have the power to open the door to a flood of interest for the island nation.”

Established in the TCI in 2008 and Bahamas in 2011, Magnetic Media is a multi-media company specializing in creating compelling and socially uplifting television broadcast programming as a means for advertising and public relations exposure for its clients.

Hamilton said Magnetic Media will share its prizes with Turquoise Morning show sponsors, including the Bahamas All Stars, Harold Charles, the government of Bermuda, One Caribbean Television and the TCI Tourist Board.

The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films.
