STATEMENT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES

March 25, 2022

In support of Ukraine, the Executive Committee of the International Academy has decided to bar all programs from Russia from this year’s International Emmy® Awards competition. This follows the previously announced action of suspending memberships, as well as all formal affiliations with Russia-based companies.

Therefore, any program that meets the following criteria is ineligible and, if already submitted, will be withdrawn:
• All programs produced by and/or co-produced with Russia-based companies
• All programs originally made for a Russian-owned channel, network, or streaming platform

On March 1, in support of Ukraine, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences suspended the memberships of all Russian individuals, as well as all formal affiliations with Russia-based companies. 

Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and everyone directly affected by the independent nation’s invasion by Russia.

We pray for a quick end to this tragic conflict.
