We are now more than two weeks into the Emmy® Award certification process. Awards chair Wayne Freedman and Awards Committee members have been diligently looking at the English Contest.
Governor Joshua Mellars has committed to the Spanish contest. “He speaks the language and has reported news stories in it. With those skills, we are finally able to give Spanish entrants the attention they deserve,” said Freedman. “Expect a competitive contest.”
Check the Master Entry List for corrections before Tuesday, March 31.
Our chapter received more than 900 entries this year, submitted by more than 2,000 entrants. “We have seen some excellent work. I would add that we are frustrated by people who try to make up the rules as they go,” Freedman said. “We have seen many stories entered into improper categories, and people who entered themselves doing the same work in more than one category.” He hopes to have entries ready for judging by other chapters next week.
We judge work from other chapters
“The best way to learn how to enter is by judging,” said Freedman. NATAS will be contacting you to judge contests from other chapters as they arrive. Watch for an e-blast. The available categories will appear on your Emmy® Express dashboard.
