In the Documentary category the Village received an Award of Achievement for "Village of Pleasant Prairie," an overview video about the Village community.
The awards were presented by WAPC, the Wisconsin Association of PEG Access Channels. The WAPC solicited entries for video productions produced by public, educational and government access facilities (PEG) to encourage more effective use of PEG channels as a community resource.
Ryan Marquart, Video Production Technician for the Village of Pleasant Prairie, received the awards on behalf of the Village during the WAPC conference in Madison on Friday, May 4. "The goal with the PEG channel is to provide residents with information they can use and present it in a way that makes it enjoyable to watch," commented Marquart. "While it's a bonus to be recognized by your peers, it's important to stay focused on the customer and strive to deliver a product that has value to the community."
