History

In previous years, the International Academy had presented a single award for children's programming (Best Children & Young People) at its main International Emmy gala in November. In 2013, the academy decided to set up a separate ceremony, with International Emmy Kids Awards handed out in six categories to honor outstanding children's TV programming outside the U.S.^[2]

Nominations for the 1st International Emmy Kids Awards were announced on October 8, 2012, by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at a Press Conference at MIPCOM, in Cannes.^[3]

In 2020, the International Academy reduced the categories presented to just three: animation, factual & entertainment, and live-action series.

Award categories

• Kids: Animation
• Kids: Factual & Entertainment
• Kids: Live-Action
