The Emmy® and student nominees for the 2020 National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Lower Great Lakes Chapter Emmy® Awards were announced yesterday. Congratulations to our 12 CCIM nominees—students, recent grads and faculty—as well as the faculty advisors involved in those projects. Congratulations also to the numerous CCIM alumni who were nominated for a regional Emmy® Award. The full list of nominees can be found on the NATAS website.
The Gala in Cleveland, Ohio, has been canceled due to COVID-19. However, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has announced it will live-stream this event in June. Winners will be known at that time.
