The Playbill Community Service Award was created to acknowledge all of the ways young people at the Junior Theater Festival are giving back across the country. All groups attending JTF 2014 were encouraged to document their organization's community service projects and apply for this award. The projects could be anything from hosting a weekly afterschool program for under-served students to holding a food drive to performing at a nursing home.

Five finalists were chosen by a panel of adjudicators and are highlighted here on Playbill.com, where we now ask you to vote on which project is your favorite. The organization receiving the most votes will win a $1,000 cash prize to support their continued charitable efforts.

You can watch all the videos and vote below.
