Trail of Light Receives PRISM Award Nomination From Entertainment Industries Council
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – March 20, 2008 – “Trail of Light,” produced by Gracie Vandiver (Note To Self Recordings 2007), has received a PRISM Award nomination by the Entertainment Industries Council.
The collection of songs on “Trail of Light” reflect the journey from alcoholism and addiction to a new life in recovery. The first twelve songs lyrically address the emotional twists and turns on the path, capturing “What it was like,” “What happened,” and “What it’s like now.” The fifteen-song journey concludes with “A vision for you,” offering songs of hope and inspiration to maintain solid footing in day-to-day recovery.
The compilation includes music from a variety of talented artists and award-winning songwriters such as Paul Williams, Mary Gauthier, Jack Sundrud, Sharon Vaughn, and Jon Vezner, offering many different vocal styles and musical genres.
The Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. annually presents the PRISM Awards for outstanding accomplishments in the accurate depiction of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and addiction in film, television, interactive, comic books, music, and video entertainment.
Honorees are selected by a 60-person committee of entertainment industry professionals and technical experts from the fields of medicine, mental health, and addiction.
In addition to the ceremony, a magazine format show will be taped for telecast on FX and will be showcased at a Congressional reception in Washington, DC in September in celebration of National Treatment and Recovery Month.
“The Entertainment Industries Council (EIC) received over 400 submissions for the PRISM Awards,” said EIC President and CEO Brian Dyak. “. . . which clearly demonstrates that there’s an ever-growing library of good works — productions that depict real-life health issues such as substance abuse, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicide prevention. Through the PRISM Awards, EIC honors the entertainment industry for getting it right and for a job well done.”
The 12th Annual PRISM Awards ceremony takes place on April 24, 2008 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
