The International Press Academy (IPA) is among the largest and most diverse associations of professional entertainment journalists representing both domestic and foreign markets in print, television, radio, cable and new media outlets.[1] The academy was founded in 1996 by Mirjana Van Blaricom; Van Blaricom was formerly the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which sponsors the Golden Globe Awards.[2][3] All full-time entertainment journalists are eligible to join; membership is open to journalists listed in the MPAA directory and to those working journalists who submit at least six entertainment-related clips to be considered by the board.[4] The Satellite™ awards honor outstanding achievements in the fields of cinema, television and new media. The following special achievement awards are also given each year: Mary Pickford award for outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry. Auteur award to honor filmmakers whose singular vision and unique artistic control are reflected in films that influence audiences and fellow artists alike.
