Awarding excellence

The Music and Drama Education Awards are an annual opportunity to celebrate the incredible work done by arts educators, project leaders and resource suppliers across the UK, and one for which I am very proud to co-chair the judging panel. This year a number of new drama-specific awards have been added to the annual roster, affording us the chance to recognise the work of an individual drama teacher, a school drama department, a drama initiative and a young theatre critic among our 16 winners.

At the black tie Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 4 March 2020 in London's Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, shortlisted nominees and the great and good of the drama and music education world will gather to enjoy a drinks reception and a three course meal before host Alan Titchmarsh leads us through the presentation of awards, accompanied by music from members of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
