Rules
According to the rules of the International Academy, a documentary is a factual presentation that provides an in-depth analysis of a specific subject or point of view, supported by evidence and informed commentary, on any subject other than art and artists. The program must meet the minimum format length of a televised half-hour time slot. [2]
If the program is part of a continuous series of self-contained episodes (i.e., each episode has its own storyline with a conclusion; or each episode may have a different director and/or producer; or the series has the potential to continue for multiple seasons), then each episode must be submitted as a separate entry.
If the program is a multi-part series with a finite number of episodes (no further episodes planned), covering the same theme, two (2) episodes must be submitted to represent the series as a whole.
If the program contains multiple parts with a continuing storyline beyond one episode or shares the same concept, two (2) episodes must be submitted to represent the series as a whole. The program may employ partial reenactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion, or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not fiction.
