Rules & regulations

edit

Under the rules of the International Academy, the prize is awarded to a dramatic production in which the theme, plot and main characters are presented under the same title. The program should fit the minimum format length of a televised half-hour time slot and that it has been broadcast between the eligibility period. If the program is part of an anthology series (i.e. each episode presents a different story and a different set of characters), episodes entering this category should be less than, or equal to, one hour in length. Two episodes must be submitted.[2]
