The '''International Emmy Award''' is an award bestowed by the [[International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences]] (IATAS) in recognition to the best television programs initially produced and aired outside the [[United States]]. The awards are presented at the International Emmy Awards Gala, held annually in November in [[New York City]]. It attracts over 1,200 television professionals. The first International Emmys ceremony was held in [[1st International Emmy Awards|1973]], expanding what was originally a U.S.-only [[Emmy Award]].<ref name="thefreelibrary.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/20+years+of+the+International+Emmy+Awards.-a013370692 |publisher=thefreelibrary.com/ |title=20 years of the International Emmy Awards}}</ref>

==History==
When the first [[Emmy Award]] ceremony took place on January 25, 1949, it only recognized programming produced in the United States.

Founded in 1969, the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (''IATAS'') is a membership based organization of leading media and entertainment figures from over 50 countries and 500 companies from all sectors of television including internet, mobile and technology. It is part of the [[National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences]]; however, it operates under its own board of directors with a global focus.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=p96IxXI5PL4C&pg=PA6] BoogarLists | Directory of Media Broadcast Associations – p.6</ref> Today, it also recognizes excellence in U.S. programming with a Non-English language U.S. primetime programming category.<ref>{{cite web|title=Spanglish Series Dominate Bilingual Category at Intl.

The first International Emmy Awards, as we know them today, were carried out in 1973, and was organized by [[Ralph Baruch]] in a ceremony held at the [[Plaza Hotel]] in New York City. The event was attended by about 200 guests.<ref>{{cite news |title=The International Council: more than just Emmys|publisher=thefreelibrary.com/|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+International+Council%3A+more+than+just+Emmys.-a020204687|access-date=January 8, 2015}}</ref>

Held each year in November at the [[Hilton New York|Hilton Hotel]] in [[New York City]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.longislandexchange.com/gossip/37th-international-emmy-awards/ |title=37th International Emmy Awards |publisher=Longislandexchange.com |access-date=February 23, 2013}}</ref> the Gala attracts over 1,000 major figures in broadcast, entertainment and media from around the world.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iemmys.tv/awards_judging.aspx | title=International Emmys: Judging Process | publisher=International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences | access-date=September 8, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151013054114/http://www.iemmys.tv/awards_judging.aspx | archive-date=October 13, 2015 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

The International Academy also presents [[International Emmy Awards Current Affairs & News|News Emmys]] with US counterpart, and the [[International Emmy Kids Awards]] that are announced in [[Cannes]] as part of the [[MIPTV Media Market|MIPTV market]] in April. The three Interactive categories are also awarded at MIPTV. These are the only Emmys presented outside the United States.

== Rules ==
The [[International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences]] organizes competitions in several distinctive areas: Kids categories (presented in April at [[MIPTV Media Market|MIPTV]]), News categories (Presented in September/October in New York City), and Programs and Performances categories (presented in November in New York).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.iemmys.tv/files/Rules%20&%20Regulations.pdf|title=2017 Rules & Regulations (All Categories - Non U.S.)|publisher=International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences|access-date=5 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170510152439/https://www.iemmys.tv/files/Rules%20%26%20Regulations.pdf|archive-date=10 May 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In general, any non-U.S. organization or individual (such as a network, a local or regional television station, producer, director, or writer) may submit a program, regardless of whether they are a member of the IATAS. For shows that are [[Co-production (media)|co-produced]] between U.S. and foreign production companies, they may be eligible if they initially aired outside of the U.S., or if their broadcast dates were within a few days of each other. A program that enters into the international competition cannot also be entered into any of the domestic ones.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.iemmys.tv/files/EntryFAQ.pdf|title=Frequently Asked Questions (Submissions)|publisher=International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences|access-date=5 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170406110346/https://www.iemmys.tv/files/EntryFAQ.pdf|archive-date=April 6, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A television station or their representatives may never vote in the categories in which they are competing. The Academy does not participate in the trial. Who evaluates the registered programs are about 600 television professionals from 40 countries. The whole process is audited by [[Ernst & Young]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/ilustrada/2008/09/441941-globo-refuta-acusacoes-da-record-sobre-emmy-internacional.shtml |title=Globo refuta acusações da Record sobre Emmy Internacional |work=[[Folha de S.Paulo]] |date=September 5, 2008 |access-date=February 23, 2015}}</ref>
