Each year, The Jimmy Awards bring together high school students from 48 regional programs for a week of coaching sessions from industry professionals, training, and rehearsals, culminating in an evening of performance. At the end of the night, two students are presented with awards for Best Performance by an Actress and Best Performance by an Actor. Several scholarships and additional honors are awarded to the evening’s winners and finalists.

A multitude of stars of the stage and screen—including Eva Noblezada, Justin Cooley, Reneé Rapp, Andrew Barth Feldman, Jai'Len Josey, and Casey Likes—also competed in past Jimmy Awards.

The 2024 ceremony will be held June 24 at Broadway's Minskoff Theatre.
