2025 Student Production Awards Nominations
Faculty Advisors: Nomination certificates will be mailed to you upon request. Please contact our office at office@emmyawards.tv
There were no nominations for categories C-01, C08, C-09, C-19, C-21 and C-23. Please understand that all entries were sent out for judging and were judged by the appropriate number of judges in several different regions. The conclusion of the judges at the end of this process was that none of the entries in these categories rose to the level of award worthiness and, therefore, are no nominations.
Student Production Award Nominees
You may refer to the fact that you are a nominee of a Student Production Award from the Heartland Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
Schools and/or students may not say that you are nominated for a student Emmy® or use a replica of the Emmy® figure in any form of publication, advertising or promotion. According to the national rules, students are not considered peer professionals and, as such, are not eligible for Emmy® award recognition
