Winner
The Bully Effect – Cartoon Network

Lee Hirsh, the orchestrator of this immensely inspiring show, had been bullied himself as a child. So he made a film about it, knowing first-hand the difficulties children face in talking about such experiences. Cartoon Network then created an on-air call-to-action online where people pledged to stop bullying. In this TV event, harrowing testimonials from parents and kids are interspersed with mind-blowing stats to create a compelling education on a truly significant topic. Additionally, the network’s own president and COO Stuart Snyder, as well as newsman Anderson Cooper, offer their thoughts on bullying as well.
