2020 Jimmy Awards Canceled

The Broadway League has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Jimmy Awards® due to the ongoing crisis with COVID-19. This decision was made out of respect for the health and safety of the many students, families, theatre professionals, and fans who attend and participate in this national program each year.

"We are heartbroken that so many of the 143,000 students who participate in high school musicals across the country will not have an opportunity to show off their hard work, and that 92 nominees won’t be able to realize their Broadway dreams this year by performing live on a Broadway stage at the Jimmy Awards in New York City," said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League. "Our priority is the health and safety of all. We look forward to next year when we can welcome nominees and fans back to the Big Apple and continue to celebrate the future of Broadway together at the 2021 Jimmy Awards."

Each year, Regional Awards Programs sponsor two student representatives per organization to participate in the Jimmy Awards®, a talent showcase in New York recognizing the country’s best high school performers.

Below is the list of the programs that were scheduled to participate in the 2020 Jimmy Awards and the original date of their ceremony. Click on the links below to find out how each program is handling COVID-19 disruptions.
