ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) today announced it will once again participate with the Streamy Awards to celebrate outstanding achievements in Web television via a live awards ceremony on April 11, 2010 at Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Established in 2009, the Streamy Awards is a first-of-its-kind award show that honors active participants in the development and production of original Web television content for broadband distribution. Kodak, a brand with a rich history in the entertainment industry, was a presenting sponsor at last year's inaugural ceremony, and is working again this year to recognize the talent shaping this emerging industry.

"Kodak helps create 'KODAK Moments' when people share their stories using photos or videos," says Jeffrey Hayzlett, Kodak Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President. "Just as we encourage sharing with our suite of products including digital video cameras, we also strive to support those who create, capture and share their stories with the world via the Internet."

The hugely popular KODAK Zi8 Pocket Video Camera and KODAK PLAYSPORT Video Camera have been named the "Official Digital Video Cameras of the Streamy Awards." Additionally, this past year the KODAK Zi6 and Zi8 Pocket Video Cameras were skillfully integrated into the comedic college zombie Web series Woke Up Dead (starring Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite fame). For this integration, Woke Up Dead is nominated for a 2010 Streamy Award in the category of "Best Product Integration in a Web Series."

Keeping with the tradition from the 2009 ceremony, the Best Ensemble Cast Award will be presented by Kodak. The company will also engage its web properties to bring news, updates, information and even prizes to the masses through FACEBOOK, TWITTER and Kodak's blog.
