2012 EMMYAWARDS COMPETITION: We're Going Green!
The competition opens Thursday, December 15, for work first shown during calendar year 2011. This year, entries in all but a few categories will be uploaded and judged online - no DVDs, no paper ballots for judging. It's a simple 3-step process: 1) renew your membership to take advantage of discounted rates, then 2) submit your paperwork for the entry, then 3) upload your video. And all three steps are done online.
Categories with an entry time limit of 60 minutes will require DVDs (2 copies per entry), plus the entry forms printed-out.
Deadline for entries is Friday, February 3.
