About the College Television Awards

Since 1979, the College Television Awards have celebrated excellence in student-produced television content. What began with just two categories has evolved into a prestigious national competition, now drawing submissions from over 100 schools across nine categories. Since 2019, nominees have enjoyed an exclusive three-day program filled with opportunities to connect with industry executives, culminating in a high-profile awards ceremony. Highlights include networking with Foundation alumni and Television Academy leadership, curated field trips, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops with leading industry professionals.

The 46th College Television Awards nominees and winners will become part of the Television Academy Foundation's alumni family and have the opportunity to participate in year-round networking opportunities and events.

If you have any questions about how to complete your submission, please do not hesitate to reach out to CTASupport@TelevisionAcademy.com.

We look forward to seeing your work!
