2025 Governors' Award Nominations
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: NOW CLOSED
The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Governors' Award is the highest award our chapter bestows upon an individual, group or organization within our region (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico or El Centro, CA). Historically, the Board of Governors' Award is for truly outstanding and unique accomplishments or for achievements of some duration and durability in our industry. We seek examples of excellence in broadcasting that go beyond those normally found in individual craft or program categories. The Board of Governors calls for nominations once a year. The award, in the form of a regional Emmy® statuette, is presented at the Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards.
