NATAS Rules for EMMY® Promotion

Rules

All publicity, advertising or any written reference undertaken by nominees and award recipients to the EMMY® Awards must clearly state that the awarded achievement is for a Regional EMMY® Award. The word “Regional” must appear in these instances. The recipient of a nomination or an EMMY® Award may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they have been honored only for one year after the recognition was bestowed. They may use a replica of the EMMY® statuette in such advertising.

Individuals who significantly contributed to the production or craft but were not honored with a statuette cannot specifically advertise they are an EMMY® award recipient. They can only state that they worked on the recognized program.
