The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced the winners of the 2nd Annual Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmy® Awards which took place this evening at the historic Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and aired live on The Emmys® apps.
“We applaud the exceptional talent who continue to inspire and entertain young audiences. The remarkable contributions to their craft are unparalleled. We congratulate all of tonight’s nominees and winners,” said Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS.

Tonight’s presentation was produced by NATAS with Lisa Armstrong and Adam Sharp, Executive Producers; Leon Knoles, Director; Dino Shorté and Adam Ruben, Writers; and Brent Stanton and Rachel Schwartz, Children’s & Family Awards Administration.
