     The two winners of the ROY CROSLEY AWARD - for a young actor of 18 years or under for an outstanding performance in the Festival - will be notified separately.

       The Paula Thornton Award for Outstanding Costumes will be presented in the Best Costume category in either the Plays or the Musicals section.

       There are seven other special awards to be made which do not fall within the categories already listed.

 

(Note: TROPHIES:   many of the trophies to be presented have been either donated by the person named on the trophy or have been purchased by the CDA Committee (ie the Fred Shepherd Award).   But all of the persons named have been involved with the CDA in long-term service on the CDA Committee.  There have been numerous occasions when CDA member societies have - most generously - asked to donate a trophy to the Festival in memory of, or to celebrate a member of, their own group.   The CDA committee has ruled that only those involved in CDA service on its own Committee will be considered for future named trophies.)
