It received Silver Telly Awards for the “Hot Springs Water” campaign in the Local TV General: Travel/Tourism category and “Hot Springs Water” in the Online General: Travel/Tourism category.

“Our folks at Visit Hot Springs work every day to bring visitors to our city, whether they be tourists or attending meetings and conventions in Hot Springs,” Visit Hot Springs CEO Steve Arrison said. “These awards are recognition for all of them — Bill’s marketing team, the meetings folks, our visitor services team, the operations team and our support crew — for their efforts, in partnership with CJRW, to keep Hot Springs at the top of the list of tourism destinations in Arkansas. Congratulations to all of them.”

The Telly Awards are the world’s largest honor for video and television across all screens. The 2023 awards were selected from among 13,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents. The Telly Awards, founded 1979, annually showcases the best work created within television and across video, for all screens.

The Telly Awards recognizes work that has been created on the behalf of a client, for a specific brand and/or company or self-directed as a creative endeavor.

“The caliber of the work this season truly has reflected the theme of breaking out and standing out,” said The Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “Our industry is experimenting with new technologies like never before, crafting truly compelling stories to draw attention to some of the world’s most pressing issues, and companies big and small are turning to more sustainable practices to break the cycle of past production processes.”
