International Emmy Awards

The International Emmy Awards celebrate excellence in television programming produced outside the United States. Established in 1973, the awards honor outstanding creative work in various categories, including drama, comedy, and documentary. Unlike the Primetime Emmy Awards, which focus on American television, the International Emmys highlight the global landscape of TV, recognizing talent and shows from different countries. The awards promote cultural exchange and acknowledge the impact of international storytelling. Winners are selected by members of the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and the ceremony typically takes place annually in New York City.
