Description: Every year, the Genesis Awards pays tribute to the major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works such as these, which raise public understanding of animal issues. As much as film, television, print and the arts reflect societal attitudes, they also help shape and change those attitudes. The mass media have the power to spotlight animal issues to vast audiences—literally at the speed of light.

So it is within the major media—with its influential voices and its huge audience—that the Hollywood office of The HSUS concentrates its efforts. The Genesis Awards recognizes that the media hold an important key to a more enlightened and civilized society.

We believe “cruelty can\’t stand the spotlight!” and our awards celebrate the media celebrating animals.
