Submissions are now open for the 53rd Daytime Emmy Awards, which are set to take place on Oct. 30, the East Coast-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced on Thursday. As part of the news, NATAS unveiled a new design scheme for all of its Emmy ceremonies, including the Daytime event. It also revealed several rule changes — including the elimination of the Science and Nature category, and methodology that puts it closer in line to how the West Coast-based Television Academy runs the Primetime Emmys.
