During the course of creating and producing Trackside, we've entered some of our shows in various contests for Public Access Television programming. While these Awards may not be the equivalent of the Emmy Awards, we're pretty proud of them just the same.

The Cammy Awards
All Public Access producers in the five county area around Chicago are eligible to enter the Cammy Awards. The Cammy Award has been around for quite a while now and are currently sponsored by Naperville Community Television, Naperville, Illinois.

Hometown Video Festival
The National Hometown Video Festival is open to Access producers around the country. This event is sponsored by the Alliance For Community Media, an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Public Access Television.

The Philo Awards
On a local level, the Philo Awards are sponsored by the Central States Region of the Alliance For Community Media. The are open to producers from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio. This award is named after Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of the television.
