JUDGING

THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY WISHES TO THANK

This Summer, the Semi-Final Round of Judging for the 2022 International Emmy® Awards competition took place mostly in-person.

From June to September, 32 member companies hosted Jury panels. Our Hosts spanned 18 countries: Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, France, Hungary, Ivory Coast, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, UAE and the United States.

The remote judgings were powered by Frame.io, the video review and collaboration platform.

Semi-final Rounds of Judging are not only a crucial step in the judging process, but also a great networking opportunity for the Host, and for Jurors invited to participate in the competition. Jurors, selected by the Academy in collaboration with the Host, are television professionals involved in all sectors of the industry. Hosts have the opportunity to choose from two options: to organize a judging with sole branding for their company or to have outside sponsors for their event and become an International Emmy® World Television Festival Sponsor.

A complete directory of the 2022 judging hosts and participants follows in this

section along with information on how to become a Semi-Final Round of Judging Host, or Juror.
