The 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards were presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), to honor the best in American children's and family-oriented television programming in 2023 and 2024, following on from the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards, which were held in December 2023. The eligibility period ran from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards.[1]
The winners were announced during two ceremonies held at Television City in Los Angeles on March 15, 2025, one focused on creative and technical arts and the other dedicated to performances and programming. Percy Jackson and the Olympians led all programs with eight wins, including Outstanding Young Teen Series. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to actress and puppeteer Fran Brill.[2]
Ceremony information
[edit]In December 2023, NATAS president Adam Sharp revealed that the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards would change its scheduling from December to a later date within the traditional film awards season, citing feedback from industry members who felt that its previous scheduling disrupted the holiday season.[3]
Category changes
[edit]A number of changes to categories and eligibility criteria took effect for the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards:[4][5]
- All acting categories were renamed from "Outstanding Performance" to "Outstanding Performer".
- Outstanding Host was renamed "Outstanding Children's Personality", and was restricted to individuals only. Programs with more than one host, co-host, narrator, or storyteller may enter each person individually.
- Outstanding Short Form Program was split into two separate categories for live-action and animated productions, with a time limit of eight minutes for both categories.
- Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design was split into two separate categories for single- and multiple-camera productions.
- Outstanding Main Title and Graphics was renamed "Outstanding Show Open", and is now inclusive of the opening music and/or theme song. As a result, opening music and songs are no longer eligible in either Outstanding Original Song category.
- Submissions in the Outstanding Puppeteer Performer, Outstanding Voice Performance in a Preschool Program, Outstanding Voice Performance in a Children’s or Young Teen Program, Outstanding Younger Voice Performer, Outstanding Single Camera Directing, Outstanding Multiple Camera Directing, and Outstanding Puppet Design/Styling now have the option to include a supplementary behind the scenes or making of video in addition to their required submission video.
- The Outstanding Promotional Announcement award was discontinued.
