Inspired by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences-accredited Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, organizers of NXT STAGE believe that creators of advertising content should have their own dedicated event, deserving similar recognition given to the creators in the film and TV industry in Hollywood. Winners will be announced during an online show airing March 14, 2012 from Hollywood. The show will include the Person of the Year Award and interviews with creative’s discussing "the making of" award winning projects.
