One statuette is presented to the main entrant for each winning entry. Others listed on official entry registration are eligible to purchase statuettes engraved with their name/role on entry. Awards can be ordered through the Upper Midwest Emmy® office.
In accordance with the rules of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), regardless of station or company affiliation, individual recipient(s) retain possession of the Emmy® statuette. Emmy® Awards are presented to individuals, not their employers. Ownership of the statue is retained by the individual, even if an employer pays entry fees.
Emmy® statuettes are the property of NATAS and may not be sold or transferred to anyone other than the official recipient.
Those who worked on a project who are not eligible for a statuette can purchase a production certificate or plaque upon verification of their participation.
Visit our Emmy® Awards store to order additional Emmy statuette or nomination plaque:
We will ship awards to main person listed on entry during the week of November 16th. Society Awards will send emails via UPS with shipping & tracking info in case you need to change a shipping address.
Those who worked on a project who are not eligible for a statuette can purchase a production certificate or plaque upon verification of their participation.
Go to @midwestemmys Facebook page for special category videos you can share and post your speeches!
Regional Emmy® Awards are presented to individuals, not to their employers. It is the individual entrant’s achievement that is being judged and recognized. Ownership of the Regional Emmy® statuette is retained by the individuals and The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, even if an employer pays entry fees.
Recipients may not sell or give the statuette to anyone. The Regional Emmy® Award Statuette is the copyrighted and registered trademarked property of NATAS.
If a recipient or the recipient’s heir or successor in interest proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of the Regional Emmy® statue(ette), such persons shall be obligated to return the statue(ette) to NATAS which will retain the same in storage in memory of the recipient.
Stations, studios and production companies may order a commemorative statuette for public display at their place of business (up to a maximum of three per winning entry).
The statuette is engraved the same as the actual Regional Emmy® Award, with the word “commemorative” added on the rear of the statuette. No additional or special wording is allowed
All publicity, advertising or any written reference undertaken by stations, nominees and award recipients to the Emmy® Awards, must clearly state that the awarded achievement is for a Regional Emmy® Award. The word “Regional” must appear in these instances. i.e. “Regional Emmy® Recipient for Outstanding Newscast”.
The recipient of a nomination or a Regional Emmy® Award or station/company may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they have been honored only for one year after the recognition was bestowed. They may use a replica of the Regional Emmy® statuette in such advertising. Individuals who significantly contributed to the production or craft but were not honored with a statuette cannot specifically advertise they are an Emmy® award recipient. They can only state they worked on the recognized program.
The statuette itself may not be reproduced or used in any other commercial manner without written permission from NATAS.
A ® registration mark and the appropriate copyright notice: © NATAS/Television Academy must accompany any portrayal of the Emmy® statuette or moniker.
The word “EMMY®” is also trademark and wherever possible its use should appear as follows: “EMMY®”
Correct: I received an Upper Midwest Emmy® for outstanding… (category)
Incorrect: I won an Emmy® for best… (category)
