    Awards Donations

    Every year, over 100 donors generously contribute to over 400 awards that are distributed throughout each discipline in Festival.

    These awards are commonly in memory of someone who had a passion for the performing arts as a means of continuing their legacy of support for participants with outstanding performances.
