All about The DubTV Awards: The Dubbies!!
May 25, 2018
Third and fourth period DubTV classes have been making content this whole school year not only to entertain and inform the students at Whitney Young but also for a chance at a nomination at the DubTV awards: The Dubbies. This is the first year that The Dubbies will take place but Mr.Rehak hopes to make it an annual event. This is a 3 period event (6th, 7th and 8th) in the theater on May 29th, 2018, put on by 6 students in DubTV called the ‘Dubbies committee”. The committee has so far put together a red carpet with lights where everyone in attendance can take pictures in their nice outfits, they ordered 100 trophies for the winners and found an MC for the event: senior Enrique Eguiguren. They also hope to bring in alumni to help announce the winners in each category and they even have the chance at winning an award. There are 9 categories that the Whitney Young population was able to vote for, the categories are as follow: best series, mini series, lead actor, actress, supporting actor, one-time segment, hosts, sports hosts and game show. There are also 7 categories that were only voted for by the two DubTV periods: the founder’s award, participation award, best producer, editor, director, music video and public service announcement. The winners of each category will receive a trophy and be able to deliver a one minute speech. Whitney Young students are welcome to attend The Dubbies during their lunch or instructional period but if not able to, they can watch DubTV on 6/6 recapping all that happened.
