GREENWORKS FOR PA WINS VIDEOGRAPHER AWARD

HARRISBURG (April 26, 2000) - GreenWorks for Pennsylvania, a television program about positive steps Pennsylvanians are taking to help the environment, has been chosen among 2,386 entries to win The Videographer Awards 2000 competition.

A production of the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania (EFP), the GreenWorks episode "The Recycling Loop: Buy Recycled" won the Award of Excellence for the exceptional manner in which the video was written, produced, shot and edited. The winning episode shows viewers that in order for recycling to be truly effective, consumers must close the circle. This means not just recycling waste but buying products made from recycled materials.

The Videographer Awards is a national awards organization that helps set the standards for the video production industry. The panel of judges who deemed the GreenWorks episode to be above industry standards are known for their extensive experience and creativity in the video field.

"Being chosen as a winner in The Videographer Awards 2000 competition is a great honor," said Tim Schlitzer, EFP Executive Director.
