A provocative, groundbreaking 90-second Public Service Announcement featuring meticulously animated footage of warplanes bombing Burma with flowers as a dramatic call-to-action, "Burma Viral" invited viewers to visit a Burma Arts Board website to send messages of support to the people of Burma. Having debuted in May of 2008 on participating MTV networks worldwide, via countless video-sharing websites around the globe, and in New York's Times Square, the project won the 2008 London International Awards Gold Statue for Television/Cinema Animation, as well as the Silver Kinsale Shark Award in the category of International Craft: Best Animation. It can now be seen in its entirety on Shilo's new website at www.shilo.tv.

Shilo's executive producers were Tracy Chandler and Mark Hanrahan, Lindsay Bodanza was their producer, and Brenda Bentz van den Berg was the agency's producer. "Having this project featured in 'For A Good Cause' is yet another great honor for us and everyone who contributed to this amazing project," said Shilo's Stringer and Chandler.
