Breeders’ Cup Expands Media Awards for Coverage of World Championships

[Wandering Eyes]

A pair of new media awards has been added to the lineup for the coverage of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, according to an organization release Thursday.

The Tracy Award for Outstanding Photography and the Tracy Award for Outstanding Videography join the two existing writing awards–the Joe Hirsch Award for Outstanding News Reporting and the Bill Leggett Award for Outstanding Feature Writing.

The new awards are named in honor of the award-winning late Scott Tracy, a popular and prolific videographer and multimedia producer. Tracy passed away unexpectedly in February at age 37.

“Scott was an outstanding videographer and masterful storyteller whose work portrayed his passion for excellence and the sport of Thoroughbred racing,” said Claire Crosby, Vice President of Communications for Breeders' Cup Limited. “We are very pleased to honor his legacy by recognizing the dedicated photographers and videographers who annually capture the thrill of the World Championships.”

Winners of the Breeders' Cup Media Awards will be announced at the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB) annual dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Entry rules for each of the categories appear below.

Deadline for all entries is Sept. 26. Entries must be submitted via the Breeders' Cup Media Awards entry portal.
