The Aurora Awards is an international and independent film and video competition. The Aurora Awards focus on films and videos that are of regional or niche market interest, such as non-national television advertisements and sponsored entertainment. The awards are not associated with any film festival. The name of the competition comes from the astronomical phenomenon known as an aurora.
At the 2012 competition, Michael M. Miller's documentary film At Home in Russia, at Home on the Prairie was named Platinum Best in Show in the Historical category. In 2002, Sunshine Network (now called Sun Sports) won three Aurora Awards. As of June 2007, Four Directions Productions had won three Aurora Awards. As of June 2008, Brant Wells had won two Aurora Awards. As of January 2013, the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program had won four Aurora Awards. Cal and Victoria Lewin won an Aurora Award for one of their films. Winners receive an Aurora Award statue made by New York firm, Society Awards.
Mobilize, it's to realize
Energize, it's time we justify
This time around, there's no slacking
No wasted moments, or useless spaces
The nameless faces who try to put us down
They're still here, but they don't run this town
Your words
Launched a battle cry
We're here to prove you wrong
This is our town
This is our song
Mobilize, it's time to realize
Energize, i think it's time to justify
We never guessed we'd be put down
For moving out from under covered ground
We forged a path all our own
And we won't forgive your hostility
Your words
Launched a battle cry
We're here to prove you wrong
This is our town
This is our song
Your words
Launched a battle cry
We're here to prove you wrong
Well where were you in '82?
We weren't aware of the battle lines
So they were the saints and we were the sinners?
That's fine
Now it's our time
