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. Each year, participating schools have access to community-building and learning opportunities as they work toward their musical productions. At the Adjudication Level, schools will receive constructive feedback and scores from a panel of theatre, music, dance, and design professionals. Awards honoring these schools’ achievements are given at the annual Jewel Awards ceremony in the Walker Theatre.  

The 2025 Jewel Awards ceremony and workshop sessions will take place on Saturday, May 10th, at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium. 

Registration for the upcoming 2025 season is now closed. Please contact Ellie Austin with inquiries about our 2026 Awards Season.
