It is quite a unique prize, this Dance Audience Award. You see, as a spectator and enthusiast, you can nominate a dancer or dance piece yourself. No jury decides that for you. You nominate it yourself. And you can do so until 1 February. What nominations are already coming in?
Dance Audience Award 2015
The Dance Audience Award is a sought-after price among dancers and companies, and that produces an annual cosy yet dogged battle on. Of course, there are the famous jury awards. But one where the public has a say, which nominees also find very valuable.
A price in two steps
At the time, nominations for the Oscars are known, you can make your nomination for a best dancer and/or best (new) choreography of 2015. Of these, a shortlist will be compiled based on the number of entries. That shortlist of official nominees can be voted on in February. So it is a two-step process, where notable dancers or choreographies are already highlighted with the shortlist, and then a rightful winner can be declared based on the number of votes.
You as a spectator are in control of everything with this.

Extra
The 2015 Dance Audience Award is doing something special. To nominate and vote, you first need to register. To do so, you pay €1.35. Proceeds go to the Princess Beatrix Muscle Fund, a fund with a special link with dance. So with your vote, you are doing something extra good. And what's more: those who nominate or vote will win free tickets to various dance performances. This is how Proz Media and the Cultural Press Agency have thought of it for you.
