Show Registration 25-26

  • Show Registration 2025-2026

  • Important note:

    We have reached our 20-school limit. While we will still accept your show registration, we will put your school on a waiting list. We will seek adjudicators to cover your show. If we can find a full team of adjudicators, we will then accept your show into our program for this year.

    Please note: it will be easier to accept shows with one cast than those with two. We will also be more likely to be able to adjudicate your show on a weekend when we don't have several other shows scheduled. 

    Here’s our schedule from February 19 to April 11, our last date for adjudication:
         February 19-21: 3 productions
         February 26-March 1: 3 productions
         March 6-8: 6 productions
         March 12-15: 3 productions
         March 19-22: 5 productions
         March 26-29: 3 productions
         April 2-5: 3 productions
         April 9-11: 1 production

  • We look forward to working with you and your students! 

    Eligible shows: All shows must be on the approved list published by the Jimmy Awards. This list will be updated throughout the year. If the show you want to do is not on the list, we can petition for that title on your behalf. Ask early, though, and have a backup plan. The review panel only meets quartlery.

    Generally speaking, any standard or school edition/version of a show is eligible. (There are exceptions.) The following editions/versions are not eligible: 101 Collection (Middle School Editions), Broadway Junior, G2K (Getting to Know Series), Young Performers Edition, Young@Part, or concert versions. 

  • Registration Process

    The full process for registration is outlined below. Before you register, we recommend reading the overview of the program on our website.

    • First, register your show with this form.
      1. You can register one or two casts of the same show. The casts must perform as distinct units in separate performances. Otherwise, we cannot guartantee we can schedule adjudicators to see all cast members, which would affect their eligibility for our awards.
      2. Upload your signed licensing agreement below or email it to us when you have it. We are required to check proof of licensing.
      3. Pay for your registration with a credit card now or indicate how you will pay for the registration later. You can also request a quote if your school requires that. 
    • Second, nominate cast members.
      1. A link to the Cast Nomination form will be emailed from nmhsmta@gmail.com or noreply@formresponse.com.
      2. Nominate eligible cast members once you have cast your show.
    • Your show is fully registered when we have your completed Show Registration and Cast Nomination forms and have received your registration fee or a purchase order for it.
    • Students you nominate are required to register. We do not charge students to participate. 
      1. Student Registration Forms are sent directly to your students by email from nmhsmta@gmail.com or noreply@formresponse.com when you nominate them.
      2. Be sure to tell your students that they must complete their registration forms no later than two weeks prior to your opening night.

  • 2025-2026 Registration

  • List one or two faculty contacts to receive information from our program. Those you list here will be responsible for alll communications between our program and yours. We will list you in our program and elsewhere using the contact name(s) you provide.



  • Since your show is not on the Jimmy Awards approved show list, we need to review a few things with you. You will still be allowed to register for the Enchantment Awards. However, your show must ultimately be approved by the Jimmy Awards to be included.

    If you would like us to request your preferred show be added to the Jimmy Awards list, please complete the information below. We will contact you to discuss the process and review your options with you.

    Please do not attempt to contact the Jimmy Awards directly. All requests from New Mexico schools be directed through our organization.

  • Each eligible cast member must have scores from three different judges. We will assign a unique trio of judges for each cast's performances. If you intermix cast members, please make sure there are at least two performances where the two casts perform as distinct units so we can guarantee we will have three scores for each nominated student.

  • Rows

  • We will not communicate directly with your student director(s). You may share any communications with them as you choose.

    We will contact you later to get the name(s) of your student director(s).

  • Retention of Rental Materials

    Please inform the royalty company who granted you the rights for your musical that you are participating in a regional awards program for the Jimmy Awards. Ask to retain your rental materials so that you have music if you are chosen as a finalist for one of our three production awards and get to perform during the Enchantment Awards. Typically, they will grant that permission.
