This area encompasses the following Designated Market Areas: 6–San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, 20–Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto; 55–Fresno-Visalia, 72–Honolulu, 108–Reno, 124–Monterey-Salinas, 130–Chico-Redding, 195–Eureka.

Eligibility Period:All entries must have been originally distributed in the eligibility area during the awards year, January 1 through December 31, 2009.

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: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 or similar distribution system.

Broadcast entries must have been produced for the Chapter's designated awards area and must have had their first transmission 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).

Broadband entries must have been intended for consumption and be ‘of primary interest’ to a regional audience. It is advised that broadband content intended for a wider audience (a national audience) be submitted for consideration in the Academy’s national competitions.

Cablecast entries are deemed available for an entire market if the cable channel on which they appear is generally available to that market, regardless of the actual number of subscribers the cable channel may have in the market.

Entries which are broadcast only on a Super Station and which are specifically designed exclusively for their local market may be accepted for regional judging, even if the retransmitting of the station’s signal by cable systems make it available to more than 50% of the American television households. This may include regional newscasts or programs dealing with issues specifically related to the local community.

Entries dealing with national news or entries dealing with subjects of general interest beyond the local market are not eligible for regional judging. The Chapter’s Awards Committee may resolve questions of eligibility for such entries. Petitions, in writing, can also be forwarded to the National Awards Committee for final review and judgment. Works accepted for regional judging under this exception may not be submitted for National consideration.
Program length commercials (infomercials) and closed circuit programs are not eligible.

Pornographic, violent, defamatory or offensive material is not accepted. The interpretation of the Awards Committee is final and absolute. 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, Community & Public Service) may compete in both regional and national awards
    competitions under prevailing rules.
5. Broadband entries that can be seen worldwide via the internet are eligible for regional competition if
    the content was primarily intended for consumption in the Chapter’s designated awards area.

Composites: A composite is defined as a sampling of two or more 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. 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.
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 DVD with English subtitles or with English on a second audio channel, a précis or English transcript.

Membership: Membership in The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is not required to enter the Emmy® Awards.

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 5 judges who shall be certified as peers. No more than 3 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 other NATAS Chapters 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 entrant warrants that he/she/they are the party(ies) most responsible for the award-worthiness of the entry. The intentional falsification of production credits or entry credits may be the basis for disqualification.

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.

Entry Format: Entries will be accepted only as DVD video. 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. It is recommended that you view on a late model consumer DVD player before submitting the entry.
The following guidelines shall apply:

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 categories.

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.
General Rules: Entrants may submit as many different entries per program in Categories 5-19 as desired. There is no limit to the number of submitting individuals who are eligible to win an Emmy® award statuette. Except for the craft areas, the primary person responsible for submitting the program or segment is the producer who must enter. He or she must concur that the additional entrants were also active participants. Executive Producers acting solely as administrators, (i.e., without having hands-on or creative input) of entered programs or segments are not eligible for statuettes.
Emmy® entrants are limited to the persons who participated in the creative process of the program; i.e., producer, director, photographer, writer, editor, etc.
A complete program or segment may be entered only once in Categories 5-19. Producers cannot enter the same material in any of Categories 5-19 both as program and segment producers. The same entrant cannot enter the same material in both news and program craft categories. We realize some news and program entries might be a collaboration of several contributors. Unless otherwise indicated on the entry form, craftpersons may enter in programming categories if they were directly responsible for the content of the program or segment. If they choose to enter and are not listed as a producer, they are prohibited from entering in their respective craft categories as well.
Any entry that airs both as a multi-part series (mini-doc) and as a full-length program may be entered only once in the competition in either form, regardless of the amount of new material added.

If preferred, long-form programs can be accepted in their entirety. However, judges are only required to screen 25% of the full program.
Entry Procedure: All entrants must submit a fully completed entry form (complete Online at www.emmysf.tv), the applicable entry fee(s), and two (2) DVD videos of the entry as “aired,” except for removing commercials.
