Telenovelas dealing with health themes

[Guest guest]

I am seeking nominations for a new award that has been established by

Hollywood, Health & Society(HH & S), a project of the USC Annenberg Norman

Lear Center to recognize telenovelas that inform, educate and motivate

viewers to make choices for healthier and safer lives. This award is

part of a broader group of similar awards that are given to television

daytime dramas and primetime dramas and comedies. This award program is

funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the

National Cancer Institute (NCI). Storylines must air in the United

States between May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2005 but may have been produced

outside of the U.S. The health theme must have been included in at

least 6 episodes of the telenovela.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to encourage more telenovela

producers to address safety and health themes and to recognize those

that already have. If you would like to make a nomination please

contact me directly and I will send you the formal nomination form.

Thanks

Sherry
