Local TV Promos Submitted to GEMA Get Nominated for 2026 Awards

By Paul Greeley

The Global Entertainment Marketing Academy of Arts & Sciences, known as GEMA, which was formerly known as PROMAX, has listed their nominations for The 2026 GEMA Awards: General Entertainment.

There are dozens of categories for local TV stations to enter their promos like news, sports, weather, community, social media, etc., and in each category, there may be as many as 5 or 6 nominees.

The winners will be announced on December 10, when the 2026 GEMA Awards + 70th Celebration brings nominees, honorees, and the GEMA community together in Los Angeles.

The nominations list does not provide links to the actual work, BUT News Blues was able to get some links to some of the nominations.
