The Pegasus Awards have been the symbol of excellence for exceptional work produced by media professionals for over five years. While they weren't the first competition to reward quality video production, since their inception they have been the gold standard that all other competitions have measured themselves against.

The Pegasus Awards were created by video professionals for video professionals. They were formed to recognize educational, medical and government video content creators. They were designed to applaud producers of corporate communications and commercials. And they were established to acknowledge special event and wedding visual artists as well as public access producers.
