The PIXI Television
Programming Awards

Unlike other awards honoring "best producer," "best actress/actor," "best director," etc. the PIXI was created for the special purpose of honoring quality of program content. The PIXI is named for the Pixel, the smallest component of the picture and its magical connection to the child, the smallest element of the audience. The "I" in Pixi is for imagination--the creative link between the two.
