WCS Students Dominate TV Production Awards

Published April 25, 2015

WCS students dominated this year’s Midsouth Student Television Production Awards, winning 10 of the 15 categories.

The ceremony was held April 23 in Nashville and hosted by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the same organization that produces the Emmy awards.
