TORONTO - December 10,
2013 - YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V:YOO, OTBB:YOOIF), the industry's leading secure digital
media management company, today announced the signing of a
multi-year extension with the Academy of Country Music (ACM). As
part of the extension, Academy members will continue to review as
well as vote on nominees through the online YANGAROO Awards
solution. YANGAROO Awards, which is powered by the company's
patented Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) platform,
streamlines every aspect of award-show management - from
nominations to auditing.
Each spring, the ACM
Awards, produced by dick clark productions, presents awards
honoring country music's top and hottest emerging talent. The
Academy's professional membership votes on the recipients in three
rounds and winners of the televised categories receive their
trophies during the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards telecast broadcast LIVE
from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday,
April 6, 2014, at 8:00 PM live ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television
Network.
"By leveraging the
YANGAROO Awards solution, the Academy has not only been able to
facilitate voting by our members, but we have made the process of
selecting winners greener and more cost-effective," said Tiffany
Moon, EVP/Managing Director for the Academy. "At the same time, our
members have the added convenience of a secure web interface for
entering their choices."
"YANGAROO Awards has
become the standard for awards show management in North America,
and we're honored that the Academy will be continuing to work with
us during such an exciting time in their history," said Cliff Hunt,
Vice Chairman and COO of YANGAROO Inc. "This agreement reinforces
the increasingly important role of digital management for awards
shows seeking to encourage greater participation in their efforts
to recognize the best from each of their respective
genres."
