EMMY Statuettes and Plaques
We get a lot of questions this time of year:
"Can I purchase a duplicate EMMY?"
"My name wasn't on the
entry but I was a contributor to an EMMY-awarded piece.
Can I buy a statue?"
"My station paid the entry fees. Who gets the award?"
We thought this would be a good opportunity
to answer those questions and
let you know your options.
A good starting place is the Award Ownership clause from the National Television Academy. This clause was included in the Rules section of Lone Star EMMY Call for Entries:
AWARD OWNERSHIP: EMMY Awards are presented to individuals, not to their employers. Ownership of the EMMY statuette is retained by the individuals and The National Television Academy, even if an employer pays entry fees. Stations, studios and production companies may order a duplicate statuette for display at their place of business (one each; up to a maximum of three per winning program entry). Corporations, production companies, cable companies and other employers associated with winning craft entries may purchase plaques from the Academy that have a replica of the statuette and space to list the names and titles of their employees' award recipients for display at their offices.
WHO RECEIVES THE AWARD: Producers, craftpersons and other statue-eligible entrants as listed on the entry form receive the Emmy® statuette, except where noted. Others who work on a nominated or winning entry may order production certificates or plaques.
Duplicate Statuettes and Replacement Statuettes
Duplicate statuettes may be ordered for display purposes only. The name plate will be engraved exactly as it appeared on the original EMMY award and will include the word DUPLICATE.
Replacement statuettes may be ordered for a statuette that have been broken. All pieces of the statuette must be returned to the Lone Star EMMY office, except for the namebands for the round statuettes. If the statuette has a square base, all pieces of the statuette must be returned with the order form.
Important note:
The Lone Star EMMY Chapter has depleted its inventory of the original rectangle-based regional EMMY statuettes. RS Owens has stopped production and we are unable to secure any new rectangle-based statuettes for use as replacements.
In the event your original rectangle-based EMMY statuette is broken, we can only offer the new oval-based regional EMMY statuettes as a replacement at a cost of $250.
Please be extremely cautious when handling either style of EMMY statuette.
RS Owens does not offer any extended warranty or guarantee and the Chapter assumes no responsibility for replacement of broken, lost, or stolen statuettes.
Production Plaques
Production plaques may be purchased by individuals designated by the entrant of an EMMY-awarded entry. These plaques are for persons who made a significant contribution to a winning piece's award- worthiness but were not listed on the original entry.
The rosewood plaque is 10 ½ x 13 with an inscribed gold plate featuring the academy logo. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery.
Nomination Plaques
The National Television Academy is offering a handsome new plaque commemorating work on Emmy Award-nominated pieces. (Similar to shown above) The rosewood plaque is 8 x 10 with an inscribed gold plate featuring the academy logo. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery.
Note: Nomination certificates will be awarded to all nominees. These certificates are currently being processed.
Production Certificates:
Certificates may be purchased by individuals who contributed to an EMMY-awarded entry but were not listed on the original entry form. Cost is $25 per certificate. Send a check or money order for $25 and a brief letter stating the credit (director, editor, etc.) , entry title, entry category and year awarded.
A quick word about promoting those EMMY wins:
EMMY winners may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they are an EMMY recipient and for one year after the award was bestowed may use a replica of the EMMY statuette in such advertising. A registration mark and the appropriate copyright notice (c) NATAS/ATAS must accompany any portrayal of the EMMY.
