Call for Entries: Television Academy Honors, Recognizing Achievement in Issues Programming
2008-2009 Entry Form & Instructions: PDF or WORD
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announces the Second Television Academy Honors competition to recognize “Television With a Conscience,” achievements in programming that explore issues of concern to our society in a compelling, emotional and insightful way. Programming and programmers who enlighten and educate, create awareness and motivate positive change on important social and health issues will be honored.
The Television Academy Honors is not a new category of Primetime Emmy® Award; it continues to be separate and distinct from Emmy’s recognition of television excellence. The purpose of Television Academy Honors is to recognize and celebrate programming that motivates, educates, inspires and changes lives.
The 2008 awardees were Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq; Boston Legal; Girl, Positive; God's Warriors; Law & Order: SVU, "Harm" episode; Pictures of Hollis Woods; Planet Earth; Side Order of Life; Shame.
2008-2009 Entry Form & Instructions: PDF or WORD
Eligibility:
Programs are eligible if they were originally aired/transmitted during the eligibility year (January 1, 2008 – December 31, 2008) to markets representing at least 51% of U.S. television homes.
Eligibility is to the program rather than individuals or companies associated with the making or distribution of the program, e.g., producers, directors, writers, networks, studios, production companies, etc.
Entries may be made for fiction/nonfiction series submitted 1) as a whole, 2) for a single episode, or 3) for a story arc up to three episodes. There is a limit of one entry per series.
Entries also may be made for television movie, miniseries or fiction/nonfiction special.
The person who signs the entry form is the entrant but not necessarily the acceptor if the entry goes on to become an honoree. The acceptor will be designated by the entrant, should the entrant be notified of their program’s selection for The Television Academy Honors (announcement on March 11, 2008).
DVD Requirement:
Twenty DVD copies of the submission are required at the time of entry.
DVDs are to have two-part menus: 1) a five-minutes-or-less clip reel that gives an edited overview and summary of the submission, and 2) the submission itself - which could be either
--a single special or series episode,
--a general compilation reel from a whole series, or
--a compilation of a specific storyline arc from a series.
For a whole series, make a compilation of scenes – entrant’s choice - with a running time of no more than two hours; for a story arc, tie together story arc scenes from up to three episodes (no time limit).
Commercials are to be deleted and replaced with one-two seconds of black.
Processing fee:
For each entry there is a processing fee of $100.
