This shinny golden achievement award, features a stage door that opens to reveal a poised performer, embodying the spirit of anyone who steps onto a Broadway stage. The stage door opens and closes just like a Broadway show.  The trophy stands 8.5 x 6.5 inches while co-designed and constructed in excellence by R.S. Owens of Chicago, IlL  (the company that constructed: The Oscar® , The Emmy® and The MTV Award). 

 

“The perfection required to manufacture the Oscar® inspires a bold sense of originality in everything we create. Simply being the best isn't good enough; everything we design must be extraordinary.”

NOMINEE CRITERIA

All nominees must be “on” i.e. performing the day of Nominating Committee’s attendance. If a “swing” is on the day of attendance, that swing will be included in the nomination. The company management shall appoint and assist but not influence the Nominating committee in identifying the requested performers names and roles in order  to assist the committee in their private nominations. In no way are the “request for names” a hint or guarantee of a performer's nomination. If the Broadway show has closed prior to the Award ceremony date, the performers and choreographers are still eligible to be nominated. Nominees may be of any race ,creed, color, gender, religion, or age. 

Education by engaging our youth is a part of our partnership program. While building the Award show event , website, and all things connected to the B.E.A.'s  shall  include the talents of our youth, locally and across the country.  HIgh schools, colleges and universities may participate in the onsite and pre-show aspect of the production. Musical Theater, Dance, Visual Arts, Backstage Management and Communications are all candidates for the Broadway Ensemble Education Program. Teaching the youth today will build a strong ensemble for tomorrow.

 

Applicants can apply here. 

We’re excited to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the I.T. Interactive Media Pathway students from East High Community Learning Center in Akron, Ohio. These talented students will produce 60% of the on-stage media graphics for our award show, turning their classroom project into a professional showcase. It’s a powerful example of real-world learning in action!
