Here is the list of 2025 NATAS NW Regional Emmy® Nominees

New — just announced:

Community Outreach Award Nominees 

Student Production Award Nominees

PLEASE be sure to look over your nominations for accuracy and see the notes below about how to change an Emmy Nomination entry.

ENSURE AN ACCURATE NOMINATED ENTRY

Is your name all caps or all lower case? It should be corrected. Is the title of your entry correct?  Is there a period in the wrong location?

Does a nominated entry not include your name although you played an instrumental role in the production?  Or, if you submitted the entry, did you just realize you failed to include the name of a person deserving to be on the entry? 

For Emmy® Award nominations - After nominations are announced, there is a 10- calendar day grace period in which names, under extreme, special circumstances, may be added to a nominated entry. These requests must be submitted in writing to the Northwest Chapter Awards Committee (northwest@emmyonline.tv) preferably from the person who submitted the entry or station/company management, with a description as to the role played by the added entrant and why that person was not originally included on the entry. If approved by the Northwest Chapter Awards Committee, an email notification and an invoice for $500.00 will be issued. This invoice must be paid by April 25.  The decision of the Awards Committee is final.  

No additional names can be added to an entry after April 25 2025.

TO MAKE CHANGES TO NOMINATED ENTRIES:

Copy the category title and entry text from the nomination list and paste into your email program twice. Edit the second copy and highlight the changes to make them easier to see. It should look something like this: 

EXAMPLE:

(Category - example) Station Excellence

            Old: Title of piece; company; John Doe, writer/director

            New: Title of piece; company; John Doe, Writer/Producer

JUDGING OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT PROFESSIONAL ENTRANTS

Everyone knows — when you judge, you save! Judging is easy and those who participate will enjoy reduced entry fees for the next cycle of submissions.

To participate in judging log into your profile: https://emmyexpress.com/membership_login/#/8. Look at the categories available for judging, select the panels you are confident you can complete by the posted deadline. You will be notified when ready to proceed.

When you judge a minimum of two panels in 2025, you will receive discounts on your 2026 entry submission. Those discounts ONLY apply to individual(s) who judge, not the entire entry. If you plan to submit with multiple entrants, remind them that they can save too by judging! If you participate in judging, but don’t see a discount when you enter, please reach out to northwest@emmyonline.tv. We will confirm.

Those of you who judged last year have already reaped the rewards on this year’s entries. Be sure you continue to participate in judging to build your reserves. This year we have panels from Boston/New England, MidAmerican, Nashville/MidSouth, New York, Pacific Southwest, Rocky Mountain AND San Francisco. If you haven’t judged before, just let us know. It’s much simpler than you think.

Congratulations to the 2024 NATAS NW Emmy® Recipients!
