New York and Los Angeles  (November 2, 2023) – The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) today announced the nominations for the 2^nd Annual Children’s & Family Emmy® Awards. In the second year of the standalone competition, it remains the biggest Emmy competition NATAS oversees. 

“We are very proud of the growth experienced in year two of the Children’s and Family Emmys, especially in the development and cultivation of the new categories dedicated to puppetry,” said Rachel Schwartz, Director of Daytime and Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. 

“Programming created for children’s and family viewing has a long history of leading the way in innovation and storytelling,” according to Brent Stanton, Head of Daytime and Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. “In this year specifically, a year so impacted by artists fighting for fair recognition of their true value, it is more important than ever to honor the excellence of their talents and achievements,” he said.

Nominees in one category judged in person — Interactive Media — will be announced later this month, as will honorees in two Juried categories: Individual Achievement in Animation and the newly-created Public Service Initiative.

Details and information about events for the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards ceremonies will be released next week. All information can be found at https://theemmys.tv/cafe/2nd-info/
