The International Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to honor the best sports documentaries produced and originally aired outside the United States. The award was first introduced in 2022 at the 50th annual International Emmys Awards.[1]
Rules and regulations
According to the rules of the International Academy, a sports documentary is "a factual presentation dedicated to physical or mind sports activities (e.g., team, individual, extreme, esports, intellectual, etc.), sports competitions, and/or sportspersons."[2]
To qualify for the category, the program must be at least 20 minutes in length and must be a single edited program, broadcast in one or more episodes. If the program is a series, two episodes must be submitted to represent the series as a whole. The program may employ partial reenactments, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion, or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction.
