EMMY 2008 Call for Entries
The 34th Annual Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards
honoring outstanding achievement in regional television in the Pacific Southwest including San Diego, Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria,
Bakersfield and Palm Springs
PURPOSE: To recognize outstanding achievements in television by conferring annual awards of merit in the Chapter's designated award region. The presentation of these awards is intended to be an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence for those working in the television industry and to focus public attention on outstanding cultural, educational, technological, entertainment, news and informational achievements in television.
ELIGIBILITY: Traditional entries must have been produced for the Chapter's designated awards area and must have had their first broadcast or cablecast in that awards area during the eligibility period. Entries must not have been available for viewing by more than 50% of the U.S. television homes during the eligibility year. Entries that are available to more than 50% of the U.S. television homes should be submitted to NATAS’ national awards (see exceptions). Advanced Media entries must be produced for distribution PRIMARILY in the Chapter's designated awards area, even though they may be viewed beyond that region. Pornographic, violent, defamatory or offensive material is not accepted. The ruling of the Awards Committee is final and absolute. No entry may be submitted to more than one Chapter's awards. Entries must be submitted as originally shown. There may not be any post-broadcast changes, except as noted in the category descriptions.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE 50% RULE:
1. Local station news coverage that may receive national exposure should
be submitted to regional Emmy® Award competitions.
2. The treatment of a local community issue by a super station that is
directed specifically to those living inside the station's home market
maintains its eligibility in regional Emmy ® Award competitions.
3. A local program that later receives national distribution may compete in
both regional and national awards competitions, but not in the same
eligibility year.
4. Local segments that are eligible to participate as entries in national
Emmy® Award competitions (i.e. News & Doc “Best Of;” Community &
Public Service) may compete in both regional and national awards
competitions under prevailing rules.
5. Advanced Media entries that can be seen worldwide via web or portable
delivery are eligible for regional competition if they were primarily
intended for consumption in the Chapter’s designated awards area.
PROGRAM LENGTH COMMERCIALS (INFOMERCIALS) AND CLOSED CIRCUIT PROGRAMS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE:
To be eligible entries must have been distributed to the general public via broadcast, cablecast, or broadband by a television station, a cable company, satellite, internet, portable device or similar distribution system.
MEMBERSHIP: Membership in The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is not required to enter the Emmy® Awards.
ORIGINAL MATERIAL: At least two-thirds of a program entry must consist of original material, unless previously produced material has been given some unique and creative treatment that, in the opinion of the chapter awards committee, results in an original program. Entrants must identify all non-original material, including its location in the program.
Advanced Media entries must be original work designed for broadband distribution or portable delivery, and must be submitted as originally posted. Pre-purposed or re-purposed material originally produced for traditional media is not eligible. If such material is included in the entry, the producer(s) must provide evidence that the broadband product is not merely a copy of the otherwise produced programming.
COMPOSITES: A composite is defined as a sampling of up to 3 representative segments or elements that convey to a judging panel the scope, breadth, or range of an individual’s talents or of coverage of a special event. The elements within a composite, unless otherwise noted, are to be “as aired” with no internal edits or post production work, such as music or special effects. Composites are not to exceed 30 total minutes. Unless otherwise noted, a straight lift from a long work may be included as an element of a composite, but there must be no editing of the lift. Demo or presentation reels are not allowed.
LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH: Spanish-language entries may be entered and will be judged by a panel of Spanish-speaking, peer judges.
Programs in languages other than English or Spanish may also be entered; however judging of these entries in their native language is subject to the availability of qualified, peer judges who speak the language of the entry. Therefore, NATAS requires that these entrants submit a tape with English subtitles or with English on a second audio channel, a précis or English transcript.
JUDGING PROCEDURE: Entries made to this Chapter will be judged by panels assembled by other NATAS Chapters. These panels shall be comprised of no fewer than 6 judges who shall be certified as peers. No more than 4 judges on a panel may be employed by the same station or company. Judges may not have a conflict of interest, which is described as having a direct involvement in the production of an entry, or having a personal relationship with a member of the production staff of an entry. Group ownership, by itself, does not necessarily create a conflict of interest.
NON-COMPETITIVE JUDGING: Entries are judged against a standard of excellence and do not compete against each other. There may be one award, more than one award or no award given in each category. Any exceptions will be noted in the category description.
JUDGING REQUIREMENT: The success of the Emmy® Awards process depends on the willingness of qualified professionals to serve as judges. Peers in another television market are serving this Chapter's entrants. This Chapter will judge other Chapter's entries. By entering, you agree to serve as a judge when asked.
INTENTIONAL FALSIFICATION: The intentional falsification of production credits by an entrant may be the basis for the disqualification of the entry.
ENTRY ERRORS AND OMISSIONS: The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of those individuals or entities submitting entries pursuant to this notice. All submitting entities and/or individuals are advised to review submissions with respect to correct name credits and other information. The National Academy shall accept all submissions that are not in conflict with any of its rules and regulations. Ineligible entries may be disqualified at any stage of the competition.
ENTRY FORMAT- BROADCAST/CABLE:
Entries will be accepted on DVD only. The readability of the DVD is the responsibility of the entrant. DVDs that cannot be ‘read’ cannot be judged and entry fees will not be refunded.
The following guidelines shall apply:
- DVD-R format (DVD minus-R).
- DVDs must be finalized and ‘compatibility tested’ on a different DVD player than the one used to burn the entry.
- Brand-name disks are recommended.
- Printed DVD labels (paper labels) are not suggested; instead, use a permanent marker to legibly PRINT identifying marks on the disk. Ink jet or laser printing that can be applied directly to the DVD face (printable media) is acceptable.
- Use a clear sleeve or case.
- One entry per DVD.
ENTRY FORMAT- ADVANCED MEDIA:
Entries must be submitted on CR-R or DVD-R. Entries must be screened in their native format (compression rate, frame rate, etc) as originally produced, so that peer judges can simulate the original viewing experience. Video content should be submitted in formats compatible with the following players:
- Quick Time version 6 or better,
- RealPlayer version 10 or better,
- Windows Media Player version 9 or better,
- Adobe Flash version 9 or better.

AWARD OWNERSHIP: Emmy® Awards are presented to individuals, not to their employers. Ownership of the Emmy® statuette is retained by the individuals and The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, even if an employer pays entry fees. Stations, studios and production companies may order a duplicate statuette for public display at their place of business (one each; up to a maximum of three per winning entry).
WHO RECEIVES THE AWARD? Producers, craftpersons and other statue-eligible entrants as listed on the entry form receive the Emmy® statuette, except where noted. Others who work on a nominated or winning entry may order production certificates or plaques.
CRAFTS ACHIEVEMENT: In the Crafts Achievement Awards, those who actually perform a specific discipline receive the Emmy® statuette. Supervising or directing the work of others does not qualify for Crafts Achievement Awards, except for achievements in directing areas.
PROMOTION: Emmy® winners may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they are an Emmy® recipient and, for one year after the award was bestowed may use a replica of the Emmy® statuette in such advertising. A ® registration mark and the appropriate copyright notice: © NATAS/ATAS must accompany any portrayal of the Emmy® statuette or moniker.
EMMY 2008 Categories
PROGRAMMING
The Emmy recognizes outstanding achievement in various forms of programming. The award is to the producer, defined as the individual or individuals most responsible for the overall content of the entry. The credit on all programming entries is "producer" regardless of the individual entrant's involvement. The intent is to present the award to the producer directly involved in creating the program. There may be one award, more than one award, or no award in a category.
A programming entry may be entered in only ONE programming category with the exception of segments which are included in entries for Newscasts, Journalistic Enterprise, or other long form programming such as sports program, magazine, or special events coverage may be entered in one additional programming category. An entry is defined as a single program or segment or story, or a series of up to three stories or segments directly related to one another.
Programs exceeding 60 minutes must be shortened by the use of no more than two edits so that the total entry constitutes no more than one hour.
