The Television Academy today unveiled a new Property Masters subgroup within the Directors Peer Group for individuals who have advanced the art of storytelling through their craft as a Property Master.
For the first time, qualifying Property Masters are now eligible for either active (voting) or associate membership in the Academy. The Academy's membership committee, chaired by Jo DiSante, has been working closely with the Property Masters Guild to develop criteria for the inclusion of this community's members who have significant creative impact on the productions on which they work.
The Television Academy consists of 31 peer groups, each representing specific fields of expertise within the television industry.
Applicants must meet requirements of the new subgroup to be considered for membership, including: Employment for a minimum of two years within the last four years with screen credit as property master or assistant property master; credits on a minimum of 15 episodes of scripted drama, comedy or sketch series; or credits on five long-form programs, defined as a television movie or special running one and one-half hours or more in length.
"Property Masters are industry professionals who make significant contributions to television production," said DiSante. "We are thrilled to be able to welcome them into the Television Academy."
Membership requirements and an application for the subgroup can be found HERE.
Applications are accepted year-round. However, the deadline to apply for membership to guarantee voting eligibility for both rounds of the 78th Emmy Awards competition is April 7, 2026.
