Visit San Marcos Wins Silver Telly Award

By Sarah Smith on May. 20, 2025

We’re thrilled to share that Visit San Marcos has been honored with a Silver Telly Award in the Series-Sustainability category for our “Accidental Litter? Do Better.” video campaign!

The Telly Awards celebrate excellence in video and television across all screens, with more than 13,000 entries from around the world. The Accidental Litter campaign features a series of short videos that take a funny, but meaningful look at how accidental litter can impact San Marcos’ beautiful outdoor spaces, especially in our riverfront parks. The goal? To get people thinking more about their behavior while exploring San Marcos, laugh along at misdeeds someone else did (because they would NEVER do such a thing *wink wink*), and ultimately leave places better than they found them.

When she’s not staring at her phone and reading social media captions for the thousandth time, you can find her: reading a book in a shallow section of the river (slathered in sunscreen, of course), enjoying a craft beer at a local brewery or Unicycle Football game, baking decadent cupcakes in her kitchen or knitting in a cozy pile of blankets.
