The International Emmy Award for Best Arts Programming is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to the best arts programs produced and initially aired outside the United States.[1]
Rules and Regulations
According to the rules of the International Academy, arts programming is defined as a program dedicated to an art form or artist(s) (e.g., performance, art documentary, art series, or a combination thereof).[2]
If the program is part of a continuous series of self-contained episodes (i.e., each episode has its own storyline and conclusion; or each episode may have a different director and/or producer; or the series has the potential to continue for multiple seasons), then each episode must be submitted as a separate entry.
If the program is a multi-part series with a finite number of episodes (with no further episodes planned), covering the same theme, two (2) episodes must be submitted to represent the series as a whole.
If the program consists of multiple parts with a continuing storyline across episodes, or shares the same concept throughout, two (2) episodes must be submitted to represent the series as a whole. The program may employ partial reenactments, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion, or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact rather than fiction.
