• log line must be 50 words or less. No sales pitches are allowed. If your log line has been edited, it will be noted in the Notes Section. (Please note: certain categories do not require a log line.);
• uploads and performer photos - if the Television Academy has received an upload, or photo for a performer entrant to be placed on the performer ballot it is indicated on the proof;
• uploads, DVDs and ancillary materials that were received May 12 - May 16, might not have been processed at the time your report was generated. If you know that the materials were sent, please disregard the "not received" notation;
• please answer or respond to any questions or comments that have been keyed into the NOTES section. Put your response in the "notes to awards staff" section.
• running time – not all categories require the running time, so unless it's specifically asked for in the notes section, please disregard.
