I believe the answer is:

symmetry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agreement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tv award's put up with judge's' is the wordplay.
'tv award's' becomes 'emmys' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'put up' is a reversal indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'judge' becomes 'try' (as in trialling a defendant).
'emmys' reversed gives 'symme'.
'symme'+'try'='SYMMETRY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for symmetry that I've seen before include "Pleasing proportion between parts of a whole" , "Due proportion" , "Pleasing proportion of the parts of a thing" , "Balance between two parts" , "Property of this grid" .)
