First of all, make sure that your organization’s Theatre Puget Sound membership is up-to-date.  TPS membership is a requirement for producing companies to be considered.

Secondly, ensure your online TPS information is up to date and accurate, since nominators and voters will be directed to SeattlePerforms.com for reference purposes.

Lastly, and most importantly, submit your production information through our online nomination process. If you don’t know what your organization’s login information is, or have not yet obtained it, please contact Shane Regan at TPS:  shane@gregoryawards.org.
