The '''Emmy Awards''', or '''Emmys''', are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the worldwide [[television industry]]. A number of annual Emmy Award ceremonies are held throughout the year, each with their own set of rules and award categories. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the [[Primetime Emmy Awards]] and the [[Daytime Emmy Awards]], which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively. Other notable U.S. national Emmy events include the [[Children's and Family Emmy Awards|Children's & Family Emmy Awards]] for children's and family-oriented television programming, the [[Sports Emmy Awards]] for sports programming, [[News & Documentary Emmy Awards]] for news and documentary shows, and the [[Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards]] and the [[Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards]] for technological and engineering achievements.
