The Jewel Awards
Chattanooga’s high school musical theatre awards program, The Jewel Awards, seeks to cultivate a theatre community that supports, encourages, and grows high school theatre programs. Participating schools have access to community-building and learning opportunities each year as they work toward their musical productions. Schools will receive constructive feedback and scores from a panel of theatre, music, dance, and design professionals at the Adjudication Level. Awards honoring these schools’ achievements are given at the annual Jewel Awards ceremony in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium.
The 2025 Jewel Awards ceremony and workshop sessions will occur on Saturday, May 10th, at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium.
Registration for the upcoming 2025 season is now closed. Please contact Ellie Austin with inquiries about our 2026 Awards Season.
