About Us
Founded in 1947, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the Emmy® Award stands for the best in television and allied media.
NATAS is the only non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing outstanding achievement, raising industry standards, and improving the quality of what we watch.
The Heartland Chapter was formed in 1986, to honor work produced and intended for an audience in our region.

Judging
Benefits
· Members who judge three (3) or more times during the year will earn a $10 discount toward membership renewal fees
· Members who meet their judging requirements (1, 2, or 3 times judging) during the year earn a discount of $50 per entry in next year’s Emmy® competition
· Judges must have experience in the area they judge - it’s called peer judging - in order to keep a standard of excellence in the awards
Requirements
When you enter the competition, you agree to serve as a judge for other chapters’ entries as they are made available to us. If you’re a member AND an entrant, you’re eligible for discounts depending on the number of times you serve as a judge.
· If you enter once, you must judge once to earn that discount
· If you enter twice, you must judge two separate times
· If you enter three times or more, we ask that you judge at least three separate panels to earn your entry fee discount for next year
Great ideas come from judging the work from other chapters; you deserve to claim this advantage!
