The Critics Choice Real TV Awards were launched in 2019 as a large-scale awards platform to give the robust (and still growing) unscripted genre critical attention and support. The awards celebrate programming across platforms and also recognize industry leaders with special awards highlighting career achievements.
Shows are eligible for nomination if at least six (6) episodes premiered between June 1st, 2022, and May 31st, 2023, to at least 50% of the total potential U.S. television market. Broadcast, cable, or online apps and services may deliver content to audiences.
The Critics Choice Association will monitor all awards submissions and select the nominees in all competitive categories. A blue-ribbon nominating committee made up of CCA members with expertise in nonfiction, unscripted and reality programming will determine the nominees. Winners will be chosen by a vote of the CCA membership.
