The 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards will be 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 ceremony is set to be held in early-2025, marking a permanent move for the awards, which held the first two iterations in December. The eligibility period ran from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards.[1]

Ceremony information
editIn December 2023, NATAS president Adam Sharp revealed that the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards would move from December to a point between mid-January and early-February (following the Golden Globe Awards but prior to the Academy Awards), citing feedback from industry members who wanted the ceremony to be moved outside of the holiday season.[2]
Category changes
editA number of changes to categories and eligibility criteria will take effect for the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards:[3][4]
- Outstanding Short Form Program has been split into two separate categories (Outstanding Live Action Short Form Program, and Outstanding Animated Short Form Program), with a time limit of eight minutes for both categories.
- Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design has been split into two separate categories (Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design for a Single Camera Program, and Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design for a Multiple Camera Program)
- Outstanding Host has been renamed Outstanding Children's Personality, and teams are no longer eligible. Programs with more than one host, co-host, narrator, or storyteller may enter each person individually.
- Outstanding Main Title and Graphics has been renamed Outstanding Show Open, and is now inclusive of the opening music and/or theme song. All opening music and songs are now no longer eligible in either Outstanding Original Song category.
- All acting categories are being renamed to Outstanding Performer rather than Performance
- 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.
- One category was removed: Outstanding Promotional Announcement
