1 Adjudicators shall nominate three individuals or collaborative (e.g. a set designed by two individuals counts as a single nomination shared by both designers) for each award. For acting, the Adjudicators shall nominate three individuals (there is no collaborative).
2 The nominations and awards shall be provided by the Adjudicator in the format requested by ACT-CO.
3 With each award, the Adjudicator shall include a statement for publication to explain why this achievement was chosen as the award recipient (what made it particularly worthy).
4 Number of Nominees in a Single Nomination: No more than four persons shall be named individually or as members of a collaborative. If the achievement that is being recognized was completed by more than four persons, the nomination shall be for a single collective (e.g. for “The Ensemble of…”).
5 Adjudicator Awards are for achievements in the public presentation of the play, given as either a single award for a unique achievement, or as an “award category” not covered by the other awards. If nominations are used, they are subject to the same rules regarding nominations as outlined in #1.
6 “Best Production” THEA is presented to the Producer(s) of a production.
7 Only one THEA is presented by ACT-CO for each award. Additional THEAs are available, under the terms of ACT-CO’s “Supplementary Award Policy”: If more than one person is named explicitly as the recipient of a single Festival award (as outlined in #4), each of those named shall be eligible to purchase supplementary THEA trophies to a maximum so that every named individual may have a single trophy that symbolizes the achievement. Refer to the ACT-CO Website for the supplementary THEA form.
8 If a Youth Production is entered into Festival, there will be no distinction made in selection criteria for a Youth vs. Adult production. In other words, there are no concessions made for youth productions. |
