Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program is handed out for reality-style, skill-based competition formats during the primetime telecast since 2004. The award goes to the producers of the program.

While there was a category for "Outstanding Reality/Competition Program" in 2003, that was for all reality programs, including competition ones.

The Amazing Race won consecutively every year since the category's inception until Top Chef ended its streak in 2010. Likewise, American Idol had been nominated every year since the category's inception, until that streak ended in 2012.
