The
Genesis Awards,
presented by the
Hollywood office of The HSUS, pays
tribute to the major news and entertainment media for producing
outstanding works in television, film, print and the arts which raise
public understanding of animal issues.
The nation's premiere
consciousness-raiser, the Genesis Awards are presented annually at a
star-studded ceremony drawing representatives from the media,
entertainment, social, business and humane communities.
The awards are bestowed by a host of celebrity presenters, and the event
is taped for broadcast to expose millions of viewers to animal wrongs—and
animal rights.
This year's Genesis Awards is dedicated to ending the
Canadian seal hunt.
