Who Oversees the Engineering Emmy Awards?
The Engineering Emmys are overseen by the Television Academy’s Engineering Emmy Awards Committee, currently chaired by Dr. John Leverence, and award recipients are selected by a jury of television engineers.
This jury considers all engineering developments which have proven their efficacy during the awards year and determines which, if any, merit recognition with an Engineering Emmy statuette.
