The $10,000 award celebrates student storytellers whose work sheds light on people with disabilities and is underwritten by the Loreen Arbus Foundation.
The Seymour Bricker Humanitarian Award, a $4,000 cash prize given to a College Television Award-winning project that best highlights a humanitarian concern, was awarded to Montclair News Lab: Hurricane Recover Mission to Puerto Rico. This award was created over two decades ago by the family of entertainment attorney Seymour Bricker.
