AWARDS ELIGIBILITY

To enter the Heartland Emmy Awards, your work must have had its first distribution in, and have been produced primarily for, the audience in (one of) these DMAs: Denver / Oklahoma City (large markets); Tulsa / Wichita-Hutchinson / Omaha / Colorado Springs-Pueblo (medium markets); Lincoln/Hastings-Kearney / Topeka / Grand Junction-Montrose / Cheyenne-Scottsbluff / Durango (small markets); within the designated eligibility period. Medium and small market entrants who are NATAS members receive significant discounts on entry fees.

Enter the Competition -- Step One:

Determine if your work is eligible, and choose your category, by reviewing the Call for Entries. Questions? Contact the office: 303.722.0916.

Step Two:

Put together a complete list of people who worked on the production; only those names will be eligible to receive a statue, ever. Those who are NATAS members will receive a substantial discount on entry fees (yes, each name incurs a fee): make sure everyone has renewed their membership before you enter IF you're looking for that discount!

Step Three:

Get your video clip(s) together, according to the Upload Specs, and Exporting details. Pay attention to the Time Limit for your category. All video must be 'as aired.' Composites must include a second of black between segments AND a list of segments included in the Description of Entry.
