Categories without Nominations
There are questions related to categories which did not receive nominations in this year’s Suncoast Regional Emmy® Awards. In order to foster clear communication and transparency among all members, we want to further explain that process.

This is neither a precedent-setting nor a unique circumstance. Categories with zero nominees occur annually, and over a wide variety of disciplines. For announcement purposes, categories with subcategories are merged. If a subcategory is not listed, it means there was either no entry in that category or no nominations.

Our Call for Entry states, “Entries are judged against a standard of excellence on their own merit and do not compete against each other. There may be one award, more than one award or no award given only to the eligible recipient(s) listed on each entry.” All entries in all categories are judged by at least 7 peers in a NATAS region outside of the Suncoast chapter. Peers are defined as people who have three or more years’ experience working in the category they are judging. Judges acknowledge their experience via affidavits submitted to NATAS. Entries in English are judged by English-speaking judges and entries in Spanish are judged by Spanish-speaking judges.

In order to receive a nomination, an entry must reach a threshold percentage of high scores. Entries with scores below that threshold do not receive a nomination.

In order to receive an Emmy® award, entries much reach an even higher threshold.

Each year, we research the categories without nominations. We determined that all of the judges were peers and their credentials are in order. We also verified that different chapters judged different categories, meaning they weren’t all judged by the same chapter which might imply a bias toward, or dislike of, the Suncoast region.
