Show Awards

Each school receives Show Awards highlighting their strengths in the performance, with special recognition given through the Public Speaking Award and Spirit of Wakakirri Award for enthusiasm, teamwork, and community spirit.​

​

State Awards

Selected schools receive a ‘State Award’ in recognition of their outstanding Story-Dance.  In some regions (in Wakakirri Live), selected schools are also invited to perform at an Awards Night, where they find out if they’ve received a National Nomination.

​

National Awards​

'National Awards' recognise schools that excel in the use of the Festival theme, raising awareness, and outstanding performance and honouring schools and individuals who’ve made a lasting impact on the Festival.
