16th Annual PRISM Awards  (3838)

09/16/2012 4:00 PM - 09/16/2012 5:00 PM

The Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) annually presents, in collaboration with FX Network, News Corporation, and other leading Substance Abuse and Mental Health organizations, the PRISM Awards™, a nationally-televised awards show recognizing
the accurate depiction of substance abuse and mental illness: prevention, treatment and recovery in film, television, interactive, music, DVD, and comic book entertainment. Established in 1997, the PRISM Awards honor productions that are not only powerfully
entertaining, but realistically show substance abuse and addiction, as well as mental health issues. The PRISM Awards encourage creators to make the most of their rights to free creative expression, while at the same time showing the reality of these health
issues. As a part of the industry, EIC never wants to inhibit the creative process; however, we take pride in being the first to applaud creators who use their power and influence over their audiences wisely and responsibly, informing them while at the same
time entertaining them. This is what we refer to as “the art of making a difference,” and that is what EIC and the PRISM Awards are all about.
