The event highlighted the collaborative spirit of young performers, with winners selected by a panel of industry professionals. In the high school category, Lutz, Florida’s Whether For Cast? took first place. Other top honors went to The Runaways from Bristow, Virginia, in the elementary division, while Kuzin Kru of Port Washington, New York, and Murder On Mars from Redmond, Washington, secured victories in their respective middle school brackets.
