American Idol executive produces to work with Emmy Awards

The executive producers of American Idol are going to be helping out the Emmy Awards. The ups and downs of the Emmy Awards are similar to the ups and downs of any long-term prize event, including space prizes. The director of the Emmy Awards is John Leverence, who wrote "And The Winner Is... Using awards programs to promote your company and encourage your employees." See the link to the right. This book has a lot of common-sense advise on managing the rules, scheduling, legal aspects, personnel, and public relations issues with prize programs. A lot of it is obvious, but if you're developing a prize program, it's worth a look to see if you've forgotten or underestimated something.
