About Us

The National Reality TV Awards (NRTA) is the world’s first awards ceremony dedicated exclusively to celebrating the achievements of the reality television industry. Since its inception in 1999, the NRTA has become a global platform recognizing excellence across all facets of reality TV—spanning talent, programming, production, and innovation.

Each year, the NRTA honors the dynamic storytelling, captivating personalities, and groundbreaking formats that define the genre. From lifestyle and makeover series to docu-soaps, competition shows, and dating formats, the NRTA spotlights the programs and people who shape popular culture and influence audiences worldwide.

A Global Celebration of Reality TV

Organized by IEG Global, the NRTA has expanded its reach with prestigious annual ceremonies across Europe, North America, South America, and Africa. The awards are not only recognized within the entertainment industry but are also embraced by fans from every corner of the world. With millions of viewers tuning in through live broadcasts and online streaming, the event continues to gain momentum as a cultural cornerstone.

By the People, For the People

What makes the NRTA truly unique is its fan-powered approach. Unlike traditional industry awards decided by a panel of judges, the NRTA invites the public to vote for their favorites. This inclusive voting process ensures that winners genuinely reflect the voice and support of their audiences—those who live and breathe reality television.
