2009 Lone Star EMMY Excellence in My Market Awards

The Lone Star Emmy Chapter is proud the offer the Excellence in My Market Awards (EMMA) recognizing television excellence produced in those markets ranging in size from Harlingen/Weslaco/Brownsville/McAllen (#88) to Victoria, Texas (#205).

Without the extensive resources found in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or Austin, television professionals in these markets find a way to create television excellence every day. Entries in the 2009 Lone Star EMMA will be held to the same Standard of Excellence exemplified by the National Television Academy's Emmy Awards, yet will be judged ONLY by qualified peer-judges from similar-sized television markets in other NATAS chapters.

Lone Star EMMA Crystal Pillar

Recipients honored with the prestigious Lone Star EMMA Crystal Pillar will have their entries submitted at no fee* in the 2009 EMMY Awards. *See Rules for more information.

Congratulations to all EMMA Recipients
