Each adjudicator will evaluate the production as a whole, the contributions of the director and the merits of the ensemble/chorus. Additionally, adjudicators will evaluate performances by all nominated individuals performing leading roles.

In addition to scoring the performances, each adjudicator will produce performance and production critiques for each school as a learning tool. Judges will follow constructive criticism guidelines for these critiques, which will be given to the teacher as a teaching tool.

​Our awards criteria emphasize storytelling and achievement, not budget or size of production.
