Singapore, Australia, Kenya and Finland are among the countries represented in this year’s International Emmy kids categories.

Yesterday, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences unveiled its full list of nominees—including 12 kids contenders. There’s stiff competition in the animation race, which features the world’s favorite Aussie pup Bluey, popular Finnish series Moominvalley, Cartoon Network APAC original Lamput and Discovery Kids Latin America’s Brazilian toon Lupi e Baduki.

It’s a particularly strong year for Brazil, which scored one entry in each of the kids categories—including the Netflix live-action series Luz (about an Indigenous girl in search of her origins) and factual sports show Bora, O Pódio é Nosso for Globoplay.

The UK also did well, scoring two nods in the two non-animation categories for the live-action adaptation of Lauren Kate’s teen novel Fallen and the documentary Kids Like Us (about children with cancer).
