National High School Musical Theatre Awards (Jimmy Awards)

Competition · The Broadway League

The Jimmy Awards recognize outstanding high school musical theatre performers nationwide. Students can't apply directly: each of more than 50 partner Regional Awards Programs (hosted by Broadway League member venues) adjudicates local high school musical productions and designates one Best Actor and one Best Actress nominee, who then compete at the national ceremony in New York City. There's no fee to the individual student; costs and timing vary by regional program.
