Date Published:

Celebrating Achievement in Theatre and Performing Arts Education

Performance awards play a crucial role in motivating learners and recognising creative development across all levels of performing arts education. Whether delivered in schools, studios or community settings, structured performance awards provide students with clear goals and tangible recognition.

Urdang International Awards offers a range of international performance awards designed to celebrate achievement while supporting progression and skill development.

Flexible Awards for Solo and Group Performance

Our performance awards include Rosettes, Medals and Stars across multiple disciplines, including acting, dance, musical theatre, speech and performance in theatre. Awards are available for solo performers, duets, trios, quartets and group performances, allowing flexibility for different learning environments.

Details of available awards and assessment guidance can be found within the [Performance Awards] section of the website.

Cast Awards for Schools and Community Settings

Cast Medals provide inclusive recognition for entire groups involved in performances such as school productions, concerts and assemblies. All participants, including performers and backstage contributors, are acknowledged for their involvement and creative contribution.

Schools interested in offering Cast Medals can learn more through our [Examinations] and [Register] sections.

Building Confidence Through Recognition

Performance awards help learners build confidence, develop performance skills and engage more deeply with creative learning. When combined with structured examinations, they form a powerful progression pathway that supports both artistic and academic growth.

Performing arts education should recognise more than talent alone. It should celebrate commitment, progression and the confidence learners gain through the creative process.
