The International Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to the best comedy television series, produced and initially aired outside the United States.
Rules and Regulations According to the International Academy's rules, the award is given to a program primarily devoted to humor with scripted dialogue (e.g., skits, comedies, sitcoms, parodies, stand-up, etc.). The program must meet the minimum format length of a televised half-hour time slot.
If the show is classified as a drama, its comedic elements must be predominant. If the program is a series, only one episode may be submitted as a representative; multiple submissions from the same series are not permitted.
