A RANGE OF AWARDS

Each January VFW produces the Platinum Pias Awards at Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Cinema to acknowledge video campaign and community achievement in industries such as beauty, education and entertainment. Awards run the gamut of fields ranging from those given to neighborhood success stories to contestants for the title of Dramatics NYC Stylist of the Year.

TROPHIES IN THREE DIVISIONS—THERE’S NO BUSINESS THAT’S NOT IN SHOW BUSINESS

Trophies are presented to mini movies from campaign projects in all three divisions of VideoFilmWeb including NYC Internet Publicity, NYC Digital Education and NYC Entertainment Creation. The Platinum Pias Awards with its red carpet, limos, New York luminaries and even popcorn, is the yearly symbolic personification of Yianni Stamas’ VFW credo “there's no business that's not in show business.”
