The Silver Circle Award recognizes people with 25+ years in the industry.

Nominees answer to the highest standards of integrity and honor in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.

   I earned an Emmy for an ABC TV Special titled, “Doin’ Great” as a Writer / Producer. The production company from St. Louis MN that we worked with also won an emmy for the same work. Although I do have the award itself, I would like to verify with the MidwestEmmy. org to support my bio materials.
   The year of my award is 2002 or 2003.

   Who would be the person to contact within your organization?

   Mark,

   Thanks for the note. I did some checking into our Regional Emmy Awards for those years and we do not have any entry title that matches the one you gave me. Regional Entries are for stories and programs produced for our region, not nationally. If your program for the the national ABC affiliate, you would have to check with the national Emmy office emmyonline.tv
