AWARDS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Overall & Division Awards from both the Coastal Dance Festival & the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing Arts are awarded based on the highest marks received at adjudication.  Judges Choice and Most Promising Performer Awards are given at the adjudicators recommendation and do not necessarily reflect the highest marks.
The Sunshine Coast Nutcracker Awards are donated by the Sunshine Coast Youth Dance Association on behalf of the Sunshine Coast Nutcracker.  Participants who were members of the 2021 Sunshine Coast Nutcracker are automatically eligible.  Awards are granted at the recommendation of the adjudicators.
