Programs released between Jan. 1, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2023 were eligible for consideration. The PGA Innovation Award is presented to the production as a whole, not to individual producers. As such, the producers are not required to go through the PGA Awards eligibility determination process. There have been three productions awarded since the award’s inception: Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series – Episode 1 (2019), For All Mankind: Time Capsule (2022) and Stay Alive, My Son (2023).
