Today, The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) unveiled the nominations for the 3rd Annual Children’s & Family Emmy® Awards. The awards ceremonies are scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on March 15, 2025. Now in its third year, this standalone competition spotlights the pinnacle of creativity and innovation in children’s entertainment.
“This year’s nominations are particularly meaningful as much of the work being honored was delayed due to last year’s strikes,” said Rachel Schwartz, Head of the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. “It is a privilege to have been named Head of a competition that is not only honoring exceptional talent but is also shaping the way children and their families interact with the world. Congratulations to all.”
Two winners and an Honorable Mention in the Juried category, Public Service Initiative, were announced today as well. Winners in the Juried Individual Achievement in Animation categories will be announced in early 2025. The Lifetime Achievement honoree and ceremony host and presenters will be announced in early 2025.
Details and information about events for the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards ceremonies will be released at a later date. All information can be found at https://theemmys.tv/childrens/
The complete list of nominees is also available on the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences website: https://theemmys.tv/childrens/ The press release with individual nominee names will be posted the week of January 6, 2025 to allow for the gratis credits change window.
All voting was tabulated by the accounting firm of Lutz & Carr, LLP.
