What is The Glamies Program?

Curriculum
The structured framework that runs the season — adjudication standards, reviewer training, mentorship guidelines, and event-day playbooks.
Awards Competition
Production review, category eligibility, scoring, and finalist selection across a season-long competition.
Gala
The end-of-season awards celebration where honored students and programs are publicly recognized.
