2012 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 (#87) to Victoria, Texas (#204).

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 2012 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.

Important Changes in 2012!
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Awards Committee has made some very sweeping changes to the entry process.

The definitions for Double-Dipping and Composite entries have changed.These changes will affect how you choose material for awards consideration. Please carefully read the NATAS Rules and Standard Clauses for all the necessary information needed to make a proper entry in the 2012 Lone Star EMMY Excellence in My Market Awards (EMMA). If, after reading the rules, you have further questions please use the CONTACT US link to submit your questions.

Uploading Video for Submitted Entries Required
In addition, please note that the video element of all entries must be submitted online. The only exception is categories with a time limit that exceeds 30 minutes in which case DVDs must still be submitted. The only Category that requires two DVD's is E01 - Station Excellence.

The Heartland Chapter created a Step-by-Step Video to help upload your video entries. It will be helpful to watch this video to better understand the upload process. Step-by-Step Video Upload
