Perspective

In December 2023, NATAS president Adam Sharp revealed that the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards would change its scheduling from December to a later date within the traditional film awards season, citing feedback from industry members who felt that its previous scheduling disrupted the holiday season.[3]

Category changes

A number of changes to categories and eligibility criteria took effect for the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards:[4][5]

  • All acting categories were renamed from "Outstanding Performance" to "Outstanding Performer".
  • Outstanding Host was renamed "Outstanding Children's Personality", and was restricted to individuals only. Programs with more than one host, co-host, narrator, or storyteller may enter each person individually.
  • Outstanding Short Form Program was split into two separate categories for live-action and animated productions, with a time limit of eight minutes for both categories.
  • Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design was split into two separate categories for single- and multiple-camera productions.
  • Outstanding Main Title and Graphics was renamed "Outstanding Show Open", and is now inclusive of the opening music and/or theme song. As a result, opening music and songs are no longer eligible in either Outstanding Original Song category.
  • Submissions in the Outstanding Puppeteer Performer, Outstanding Voice Performance in a Preschool Program, Outstanding Voice Performance in a Children’s or Young Teen Program, Outstanding Younger Voice Performer, Outstanding Single Camera Directing, Outstanding Multiple Camera Directing, and Outstanding Puppet Design/Styling now have the option to include a supplementary behind the scenes or making of video in addition to their required submission video.
  • The Outstanding Promotional Announcement award was discontinued.
