WE NEED JUDGES!

The success of the Emmy® Awards process depends on the willingness of qualified professionals to serve as judges. Peers in other NATAS Chapters are serving this Chapter's entrants. This Chapter will judge other Chapter's entries. By entering, you agree to serve as a judge when asked. Failure to judge may lead to loss of membership discounts and an additional $50/entry fee. Multiple entries each year may result in having to judge multiple categories. Nominees and recipients make the best judges!
