The Television Academy Foundation and Prizeo, the online giving platform that democratizes giving for all income levels, announced today that they have partnered on a special sweepstakes to give one lucky winner and a guest the opportunity to attend the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Stephen Colbert. This is the first time the Television Academy has participated in a sweepstakes in which the general public can vie for a chance to attend "television's biggest night."
