It’s become a tradition to have some form of ‘entertaining’ video during the dinner at the O’Brien Awards Gala.

This year, the O’Brien Award organizers decided to reach out to some of the finalists’ family members and friends who were not able to be at the event, and offered them the opportunity to send their greetings.

For your viewing pleasure, here is the "Hallmark Greeting" video that we showed on O’Brien Awards night.

This video could not have been possible without the help of so many individuals from across the country, and in Finland. We’d like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you for helping us in this video production!
