The Television Academy Foundation has opened the submission period for the 44th College Television Awards, an exciting event that shines a spotlight on exceptional student-produced programs from colleges and universities across the country. This prestigious ceremony is set for spring 2025.
This opportunity is available for both undergraduate and graduate students, with entries evaluated by members of the Television Academy, using a judging process similar to that of the Emmy® Awards. Winners will be celebrated in a glamorous red carpet ceremony, where television stars will present awards and share over $25,000 in cash prizes across eight categories, including Animation Series, Comedy Series, Commercial/PSA/Promo, Drama Series, News, Nonfiction Series, Sports, and the Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship.
The awards uphold industry standards of excellence, creativity, and innovation. Nominations will be unveiled on December 4, 2024.
Participants can also look forward to exclusive networking opportunities during three days of professional development events with industry leaders before the ceremony at the Television Academy’s Wolf Theatre in the Saban Media Center, located in North Hollywood, California.
Among the awards, the $10,000 Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship will recognize a student-produced program that highlights people with disabilities or supports emerging artists with disabilities. This initiative is made possible by the Loreen Arbus Foundation. Additionally, the Seymour Bricker Humanitarian Award, worth $4,000, will be awarded to a project that exemplifies humanitarian efforts at the ceremony.
Entries must be submitted by October 17, 2024, at 5 p.m. (PDT). Those who are nominated or win will join the Television Academy Foundation’s alumni network, gaining access to ongoing networking, events, and professional development resources throughout the year.
