EMMY® AWARDS Judging InformationThis is a note about judging---not the judging that is done on your entries, Five or six times per year, another NATAS chapter will need to have entries judged from their market. They send us an equal amount of the entries that are sent from our chapter, and compile panels of peers from that category to judge the entries. We are responsible to do the same for them. It is likely you will be contacted at one point or another this year if you entered the EMMY®Awards. This year, we’re particularly interested in compiling a list of bi-lingual Spanish judges for entries from Florida. If you are interested in being a judge, please indicate your area of expertise (at least 2 years experience at associate producer, or craft level), and also indicate whether you are bi-lingual in Spanish. Also, you may judge for us even if you haven't entered the competition. If you are interested in judging a particular category, please contact our judging coordinator, Sharon Sobel.
EMMY® Award Committee Contacts
Over 700 EMMY® Award Entries Received from the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter Members
You’ve sent in your best work…You’ve struggled through EMMY® Express… And now you wait months to find out if you’re nominated. We received over 700 entries, which is an increase of 10% over last year. Early indications also show that the new categories being offered this year are a big hit. Some of you may be contacted in the coming days where an issue may have popped up with your entry. Though, if you don’t hear from us, consider your submission to be on its way to another chapter to be judged. We hope to begin receiving your ballots back in the next 8 weeks and looking ahead to the Nominations Party in May. In the meantime, stay tuned to this website for future updates regarding your submissions, the Nominations Party and the 52nd EMMY® Awards Dinner (June 5, 2010)
A Message from your President
When all of the entries in your category have been processed, they will be sent to one of our judging chapters. Your entry will be judged by a panel of no fewer than five peer judges. We in turn will judge that chapter's entries in the next months. All the results are sent to our accountant who give the Awards Committee raw numbers and the nominations and winners will be determined. We will announce the nominations in May at our annual Nominations Party. And the "EMMY® goes to ...." will be the words you hope will precede your name June 5th at the 52nd EMMY® Awards Dinner. Good Luck to all of you who entered and thank you for your support of the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter. Sue Ann Staake-Wayne |

Eighteen Governors (past and present) and members of the Awards Committee gathered on Saturday, January 23rd for what we call "Sort Day". This is very time consuming but an important process that is the beginning of the journey your entry will take over the next two months. We make sure you have entered the right category by reading the description you have written and if we are in doubt we will screen your entry. Your DVD should have a printed label and you should have included three copies of your entry form. And of course we make sure you have paid your membership and entries fees correctly.
