Aurora Award

ZigZag Show Wins Aurora Award

A Platinum Best-of-Show trophy was presented by the Aurora Awards, an international competition designed to recognize excellence in the film and video industries. It specifically targets programs and commercials that would not normally have the opportunity to compete on a national level, by focusing on non-national commercials, regional or special interest entertainment and corporate sponsored film and video.
