Kids shows from Nigeria and India have earned both countries their first nominations from the International Emmy Kids Awards. Season two of Cartoon Network and Vaibhav Studios’ Lamput (pictured) brought India its first nomination in the kids animation category, while BBC Africa’s What’s New? got Nigeria a nod for kids factual.

The UK topped the nominee list with seven nods—the same as last year—with season two of Tuesday Child’s LEGO Masters series and MarcoPolo Learning’s digital series MarcoPolo World School earning recognition when the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 2019 International Emmy Kids Awards yesterday.

In second place, Brazil stepped up to snag five nominations, two more than in 2018. Productions that got a nod this year included season three of Cartoon Network and Brazilian prodco Copa Studio’s animated series Jorel’s Brother. Brazilian media  company Globo received three nominations thanks to its web series Young Hearts Live, season three of non-scripted entertainment fare The Voice Kids and its kids show Young Hearts: Brazilian Lives.

Globo took home the second-highest number of nominations behind the BBC, which earned four.

There are 28 nominees in seven categories, spanning 15 countries: Australia (one), Belgium (one), Brazil (five), Chile (one), Denmark (two), France (one), Germany (two), India (one), the Netherlands (one), Nigeria (one), Norway (one), Singapore (one), South Korea (two), Thailand (one) and the United Kingdom (seven).
