In November 2023, the 10th Annual ARTAS Show was held, and it received more than two million votes in all categories.

History

The ARTAS was founded by executive producers Kristen Moss and Andrew Ward with the intention of supporting, examining, and redefining the art of reality in media by rewarding quality, promoting experimentation, and acknowledging that the audience is at the center of the entertainment industry.

In 2013, the first awards were given out for excellence in front of and behind the camera in all aspects of unscripted television. Since then, the awards have been presented to recognize and promote the vast array of content that has brought reality television to the forefront of entertainment. [5]

In 2014, the American Reality Television Awards also inaugurated a Humanitarian Award, which eventually became the Reality Television Hall of Fame. [6] This award's notable honorees include former President Donald Trump, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, and Janice Dickinson. Ellen DeGeneres, Steve Harvey, Leah Remini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gordon Ramsay, Abby Lee Miller, and RuPaul are among the notable figures who have won trophies in various categories for all nine ARTAS Awards.
