Frostburg State University’s Department of Communication and Creative Communication Club will host its second annual Frosty Awards, an awards-show-style showcase of creative communication from students of all majors, on Saturday, May 7, at 6:30 p.m. in Gira Center 397. The red carpet starts at 5:30 p.m.

There will also be free public screenings of the video nominations Monday through Wednesday, May 2 to 4, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Gira Center Multimedia Learning Center, room 189.

The 10 award categories are music video, short film, broadcast video, promotional video, promotional photography, logo design, flier design, original audio composition, audio recording and civil communicator, with a special audience choice award for video. More than 60 submissions were entered.

Entries have been judged by professionals in their respective fields with connections to FSU or to FSU faculty, including 1992 alumnus Greg Garcia, TV writer, producer and creator of hit sitcoms including “My Name Is Earl,” “Raising Hope,” “The Millers” and “Yes, Dear”; John Cosenze, supervising producer for the National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo WILD; 2004 alumnus Efim Shapiro, a producer at SiriusXM Radio; New York Post film critic and features writer Sara Stewart; Pittsburgh-based designer Emily Wiggers, owner of the creative studio Delicate Balance; Diane Rankin, general manager of Awesome Films; and DJ Thomas, senior designer for Younts Design in Baltimore.

In addition to submitting work for competition, students have also planned, promoted and produced the event and will perform as presenters and emcees. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited so advance reservations are required. For reservations or information, call 301-687-3049.

The organizers wish to acknowledge in particular the efforts of faculty member Annie Danzi, FSU-TV3 manager Melanie Lombardi and the members of the Creative Communication Club’s executive board, led by Tasia Carter, in the planning of this event, which has gone for the entire academic year.
