The high school student production awards are open to all high school students in the Mid-Atlantic region (PA (except Erie), NJ, and northern DE as well as the Wheeling/Stuebenville DMA). The entries are judged by industry professionals and college professors.  NATAS Mid-Atlantic supports future industry professionals by recognizing talented high school students with two scholarship opportunities.  We also offer $1500 as the Next Gen Diversity in Broadcast Scholarship.  Rules and guidelines are posted on the scholarship page. The Norman Felsenthal Young Producer’s Award of $1000 is awarded to the winner of the PSA category.

Our college/university awards are accepted through April of each year.  The deadline for entries in 2023 is April 28.  View the College/University link for more information.  The college awards will be presented at the Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Awards ceremony each fall.
