9 Story enters the Olympics of Children's Television with Three Finalists
Toronto, February 8, 2006

9 Story Entertainment is delighted to announce that all three of its recently produced television programs have been selected as finalists for the Prix Jeunesse.

9 Story's Emmy and Gemini-winning animated show Peep and the Big Wide World, as well as Skyland and If The World Were A Village were all named as Prix Jeunesse finalists. Held every two years, the international competition is considered the highest honour in children's television.

"We are absolutely thrilled that our international peers consider 9 Story's work among the best of a world-class field," said Vince Commisso, partner and executive producer at 9 Story Entertainment. "Whether we walk away with awards or not, 9 Story has shown we belong among the world's top producers of children's programming."

Established in 1964 with the aim to contribute to improving worldwide television for the young and promoting communication among nations, the Prix Jeunesse is unique because prizes are not awarded by a small, select jury, but rather by all industry participants.

The 2006 Prix Jeunesse festival will be held from May 5 to 10, 2006, in Munich, Germany.

Founded in 2001, Toronto's 9 Story Entertainment has quickly become a leading Canadian digital animation producer.
