presented today the second annual JCS International Young
Creatives Award at the 2018 International Emmy World Television

1-minute short videos on the theme, “Stand Up for Peace.”
The awards were presented to Ms. Puar and Mr. Dutta during the
Nominee Medal Ceremony at the International Emmy World
Television Festival, held at the Sofitel Hotel in midtown New
York. Mr. Upreti accepted the award in absentia.
“Today, we celebrate young creatives whose work promotes peace
across the globe,” said Michal Grayevsky, President of JCS
International, a Board Member of the International Academy, and
the Chief Communications Officer of RSL Investments II

year’s remarkable winners give us a reason to be hopeful.”
“I want to express my gratitude to Ambassador Ronald S. Lauder,
whose generosity made this award possible, and whose
longstanding commitment to peace is an inspiration to all of
us,” Grayevsky continued.
