"Determining the winners for this year's Awards was no easy task." says Paul Robertson, President of YTV. "The winners in each of the categories have one thing in common. They deserve our recognition and accolades for their accomplishments." The awards are open to candidates 19 and under.

Hilary's successful Web site development firm has international clientele including manufacturers, publishers, and the Ontario Government. Prior to launching Hilary Interactive Inc., her career as a professional fashion model based in Toronto had taken her to Tokyo and Taipei on contract. Her interest in fashion and modeling led her to develop two Web content sites, one of which, The Insider¹s Guide to Supermodels and Modeling, gets more than two million hits per month. The other is an ezine, Hilary Magazine (www.hilary.com), which features reviews, travel and fashion articles and opinion pieces aimed at young readers. Hilary is also the owner of New Faces Talent (www.newfaces.com), a popular on-line portfolio service for models, actors and photographers.

"It was an honour to be chosen as the winner in the 10th Annual YTV Achievement Awards," says Hilary. "I congratulate YTV for holding these awards ceremonies every year. Meeting the other talented winners has really restored my faith in today's youth."

The awards ceremony, which will be televised nationally on June 6, 1999 at 7pm EST, will feature such celebrities as Ben Savage and Danielle Fischel from Boy Meets World and hit pop group B*Witched.
