The International Emmy Award for Best Kids: Factual & Entertainment is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to the best factual and entertainment programs intended for young audiences, produced and initially aired outside of the United States. It was first presented in 2020 at the 9th International Emmy Kids Awards.

Contents

The International Emmy Kids Awards were presented in separate annual ceremonies until 2021. In 2022, the kids’ categories were presented at the 50th International Emmy Awards alongside the rest of the categories.

From 1983 to 2011, productions intended for young audiences competed in a category named Best Children & Young People. [1] In 2012, six kids-specific categories were created. [2] [3] From 2012 to 2019, two categories—Kids: Factual and Kids: Non-Scripted Entertainment—were presented. In 2020, these categories were merged into the current award.

Rules and regulations

According to the rules of the International Academy, the category is for "any non-fiction program devoted to entertaining and/or informing a young audience (i.e., game shows, reality competitions, variety shows, documentaries, news shows, etc.)." [4]
