Fred Rogers Award
Excellence in Children's Educational Media
CPB created the Fred Rogers Award in 2001 to honor an individual or organization that, like Mr. Rogers, has contributed to excellence in children's educational media. Since 1968, Mr. Rogers has shared his magical talents as a musician, songwriter, and master of puppet voices to educate the nation's youngest citizens. Mr. Rogers hosted the longest running children's television show in history.
Recipients are presented a "trolley-shaped" crystal statuette, a landmark symbol from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
