GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Children's Programming

The GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Children's Programming is an annual award that honors younger children's programming for excellence in the treatment of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) characters and themes. It is one of several categories of the annual GLAAD Media Awards, which are presented by GLAAD—an American non-governmental media monitoring organization—at ceremonies held primarily in New York City and Los Angeles between March and May. The award was first awarded in 2021 to the HBO Max series The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo.
