more than 40 judges
and reviewers.
In addition to the youth who performed in schools and youth theatre companies, anyone
age 18 and under who performed at
a show reviewed by a judge was also considered for the NYA awards, as well as the adults who participated in the youth productions backstage (directors, set designers, costume designers,
