History
In previous years, the International Academy had presented a single award for children's programming (Best Children & Young People) at its main International Emmy gala in November. In 2013, the academy decided to set up a separate ceremony, with International Emmy Kids Awards handed out in six categories to honor outstanding children's TV programming outside the U.S.{{cite web|url=http://globalnews.ca/news/390816/3-british-tv-shows-winners-at-1st-international-emmy-kids-awards/|title=3 British TV shows winners at 1st International Emmy Kids Awards|publisher=Global News|access-date=15 March 2017}}
