  • TeenVoice Regions will consist of 4-8 teen nominators (North, South, East, West, Central). The number of nominators selected for a TeenVoice region will depend on the number of entries of shows in a region.
  • Each of the TeenVoice Nominators in a region will be responsible for seeing a maximum of 5 shows per season. Assigned shows will be local to their region. TeenVoice Nominators are welcome to volunteer to see more shows but that may be subject to ticket availability.
  • TeenVoice Nominators will apply to be considered and if selected will be responsible for interacting with the Gregory Awards Platform in the same way that all Nominators are expected to participate.
