Founder’s Awards

July 8th, 2009

What are they?

The Founders Awards were established in honor of those who first chartered the Midwest Regional Section of USITT. The Board of Directors chooses to honor those men by annually recognizing both a student and a regular member for their service to our Section or for their hard work and enthusiasm in pursuing a career in Technical Theatre.

The Midwest Regional Section of the Institute accepts nominations for the Founders Awards. There are two award categories: Student and Section Member.

Student Award

Active Section members may nominate their students to receive a monetary award of not less than $250.00 and a one year Membership in the Section. Students may be either High School Seniors or College Undergraduates.

The criteria for nomination are:

  • Active in the High School or College Technical Theatre program
  • Intent to pursue a career in Technical Theatre or related field
  • Provide the Founders Award Committee with a current resume
  • Write a brief statement of their goals in Technical Theatre
  • Students who are nominated need not be a current member of the Section
