The Children's and Family Emmy Awards, or Children's and Family Emmys, are an upcoming awards presentation that will be part of the extensive range of Emmy Awards for artistic and technical merit for the television industry. The Children's and Family Emmys will be bestowed by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in recognition of excellence in American children's and family-oriented television programming. The first ceremony is scheduled for December 11, 2022.

History

Normally, the majority of Emmy Awards for children's television fell within the scope of the Daytime Emmy Awards, as organized by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).[1] The 48th Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards introduced a new Outstanding Young Adult Series category as well [2]

The Primetime Emmy Awards organized by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS, also branded as the Television Academy) featured a non-competitive award for Outstanding Children's Program, which could be shared by multiple nominees that meet a specific voting threshold of Academy members. This category was retired in 2020, with the Television Academy citing that the proliferation of streaming services had created confusion over whether children's programs should fall under the Daytime or Primetime awards; the category had already been modified to make primetime specials and spin-offs of a daytime children's program ineligible.[1]

On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced that it would create a new award presentation for children's and family television in 2022, the Children's and Family Emmy Awards. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. The categories to be featured in the ceremony will also include seven new categories for preschool television series.[2]

The introduction of the ceremony is part of a larger re-alignment of the Primetime and Daytime Emmy Awards' eligibility criteria that will begin to take place in 2022, with eligibility for the ceremonies now based more on themes and stylistic characteristics rather than the dayparts where a program airs on linear television.[3][4]

Recipients

On April 26, 2022, the inaugural ceremony was scheduled for December 11, 2022. It was announced that LeVar Burton will be recognized as its first Lifetime Achievement honoree.[5][6] The nominations for the first ceremony were announced on November 1, 2022.[7]
