Since 2003, the Best Competition Program Emmy has been awarded annually in recognition of reality entertainment structured around talent or endurance contests. This year, there are 59 such options for TV academy members to choose from on their first-round nominations ballots, which means there will be five nominees announced on July 12. This is down from 81 entrants in 2022 and 67 in 2021.
All 20,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 26 to cast their 2023 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite competition programs. This time, instead of being able to vote for as many shows as they want, they must limit their choices to five, reflecting the number of eventual nominees. As opposed to the Oscars, Emmy voters do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.
Unlike comedy and drama series, which simply appear on the ballot by name, the competition program submissions include plot descriptions. Which of...
