Who is eligible to participate? High schools that produce a qualifying musical
and are in the Northeast, East, or Southeast region of Oklahoma according to the OSSAA regional definitions.
What is a "qualifying musical?" As defined by The Jimmy Awards(R):
"The National High School Musical Theatre Awards® has reviewed the professional standards for identifying the definition of an Approved Musical and a Qualifying Role in an Approved Musical for the purposes of our program. These standards serve as a guide to create a minimum standard and criteria for what defines a Qualifying Role in the category of Best Actor / Actress in an amateur production of an Approved Musical." [MORE INFO]
How will my school's musical be adjudicated? See a sample ballot below.
What if my school's musical is considerably smaller than most? You're doing a musical! You're the reason we have arts in the schools! The size of your musical has no bearing on how you'll be adjudicated. Schools with productions of all sizes and budgets participate.
What commitments will my students need to make? The two students nominated
from your production will need to be available late afternoon and evenings for dates and times to be specified soon.
The two finalists will schedule time to meet with Discovery Awards team members
at the Tulsa PAC to record videos required by The Jimmy Awards(R) in advance of
the ceremony in New York City along with TV appearances on the local news.
The two students selected in The Discovery Awards to represent the region at the
Jimmy Awards(R) must be conflict free and available for all days during the NHSTMA
week in NYC, dates TBA.
What are the details on The Jimmy Awards(R)? Details TBA!
Is there any video information on The Jimmy Awards(R)? Yes there is! In 2012, PBS produced a
three-part documentary and you can watch it here: https://www.jimmyawards.com/galleries/broadway-or-bust/
