Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Television

The Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Television was presented annually by the Costume Designers Guild from 1999 to 2014.

In 1998, the Guild introduced a single award category titled Excellence in Television, in which all television programs competed regardless of genre or format. Among the inaugural nominees, four were period dramas. The winner that year was The Tempest, a fantasy television film. Furthermore, all nominated shows were either limited series or television films, which makes it the only time with no regularly continued series recognized. Beginning with the 1999 ceremony, the Guild divided the award into two categories: Excellence in Contemporary Television and Excellence in Period/Fantasy Television. In 2015, the latter was further separated into two distinct categories: Excellence in Period Television and Excellence in Fantasy Television, each recognizing achievement within its respective genre.
