The Producers Guild of America announced today the opening of submissions for a new initiative and gala awards event later this year - Digital V.I.P. - to honor nine "Visionaries, Innovators and Producers" who have made significant contributions to the advancement of digital entertainment and storytelling during the past year.

"The Producers Guild of America is home to the leading creators of film, television and new media," said Producers Guild President Mark Gordon. "Producers are the engine at the heart of the entertainment industry, and Digital V.I.P. honorees are the influential decision-makers on the front lines of new media, gathering resources, developing technologies, creating stories and making digital entertainment happen."
Digital V.I.P. Selection Criteria
Visionaries - three recipients - those who have brought forth new ideas about the creative application of technology to advance storytelling across all media.
