EMMY® USAGE

EMMY USAGE DISTINCTION:
All publicity, advertising or any written reference undertaken by nominees and award recipients to Area Emmy® Awards, must clearly state that the awarded achievement is for a “Regional Emmy® Award,” so that the distinction between Chapter Area Award recipients/nominees and National Award recipients/nominees is clearly established.
(from page 61 of the Regional Awards Manual, under "Appropriate Symbols of Excellence")

EMMY Trademark & Promotion
There are strict guidelines regulating the display and promotion of the EMMY statue. For details.
Please follow the guidelines set forth by the National office regarding acceptable ways to promote/advertise EMMY awards.
Please keep in mind the EMMY statue is a symbol of excellence in broadcasting and not of being the best.

“Recipients can’t claim to be the ‘best’.  The protocol that should be followed is for each winner to state that they were an Emmy® winner in a given category; nowhere in our rules, judging procedures or ballots  is it expressed or implied that winners are the ‘best’; they are ‘Emmy® recipients’ or “Emmy® winners”.  The spirit of the ‘standard excellence’ should prevail.”

EMMY AWARD Ownership
EMMY Awards are presented to individuals, not to their employers. Ownership of the statuette is retained by the individuals and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, even if an employer pays the entry fees. Stations, studios and production companies may order a duplicate statuette for display at their place of business (one each; up to a maximum of three per winning program entry). Corporations, production companies, cable companies and other employers associated with winning craft entries may purchase plaques from the Academy that have a replica of the statuette and space to list the names and titles of their employees' award recipients for display at their office.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR EMMY®
The appropriate way to care for an Emmy is to use a soft damp cloth to wipe it  and a soft cloth to polish and dry it.  No chemicals or harsh abrasive should be used.  The Emmy is gold plated and has an epoxy lacquer overlay to protect the piece from the elements and human touch (hand oils). 
 

 Using the above suggestions will protect the Emmy’s lustrous finish for many, many years to come.
