According to National Awards Committee guidelines, in any category where there are fewer than ten submissions, no more than 50% of submitted entries may be nominated.
This is a longstanding rule that the National Awards Committee is enforcing across all competitions to ensure the integrity of NATAS competitions and maintain the reputation of excellence for nominees.
Programs distributed within the calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2024, were eligible to submit for the 2025 Daytime Emmy competition. Beyond the Gates will be eligible for the next competition cycle, having premiered in 2025.
