Troy, Ala.— (WDNews) Troy University design students are earning national recognition after winning eight honors in the 46th Annual Telly Awards, which celebrate excellence in video and television across all screens.
Chris Stagl, Assistant Chair of the Department of Art and Design, submitted a range of student-produced projects for this year’s competition, including three short film trailers, three title sequences, two music videos, and a commercial—all created within the last 12 months.
“Once again, we are blown away with our student’s success in this national competition,” Stagl said. “I could not be prouder of these students and all they have accomplished.”
Among the standout winners was graphic design alumnus Connor Evans of Montgomery, Ala., who took home two Silver Tellys and one Bronze. “This is insane that we, here at TROY, are competing and winning on a national scale for these video projects,” Evans said. “I want to thank Professor Stagl for infusing video into our curriculum because I feel like without that opportunity none of us would be being recognized right now.”
Nathan Hobbs, a graphic design alumnus from Black, Ala., also earned a Bronze Telly. “Even after recently transitioning into the industry I still get excited when I think about what we were all able to accomplish at Troy,” he said.
