Judges
The awards are judged by previous Silver Telly Award winners who have been accepted into the organization's "Silver Telly Council," and are selected by council members. Hence all judges belong to a self-selected group. The Telly Awards site indicates the judges are "top advertising and production professionals," but only council members can review the biographies of all the judges. However, some members choose to post their biographies on the web.

Famous quotes containing the word judges:
“Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
“In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“How utterly futile debauchery seems once it has been accomplished, and what ashes of disgust it leaves in the soul! The pity of it is that the soul outlives the body, or in other words that impression judges sensation and that one thinks about and finds fault with the pleasure one has taken.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
