How is elegibility determined?
In order to be eligible, a program must have air during the past television season between the dates of July 1st of the previous year and June 30th of the present year. The program must be first-run and have aired on a nationwide broadcast network in the United States. In the case of limited run programs that span over the cut-off dates, the majority of its episodes must have aired in the eligibility period. The Web site TV Tome is used by the Internet Entertainment Writers Association to determine eligibility of programs.
