Season 11 Awards

 

Season 11 Regional Awards

All eligible performers will receive the following, whether competing LIVE or In the Wild. Competitors must perform to be eligible to receive any medal or pin.

Medals

  • First, second, and third-place performances receive custom, Aerialympics-branded medals.

  • All Star first, second, and third-place performances receive larger custom, Aerialympics-branded medals that include the words, “All Star.”

Pins

All competitors who perform will receive an Aerialympics-branded pin customized for the event in which the performer is registered. One pin per performer per event, not per performance.

In addition to receiving medals and pins, all performers will be sent judge feedback from a panel of 3 judges. Some events will include collectible lanyards. All events offer free viewing access to all available performance videos from the event, the opportunity to purchase the competition video for download, merchandise, and photos at select events.

  • Individual Powerhouse Specialty

  • Individual Powerhouse Overall

  • Team Powerhouse Overall (team and individual):

  • Powerhouse awards are a two-step process (buckle up for some math)

    • You must be in the top 20% of season point earners to be eligible.

      • This helps us reserve awards for people who participate in more than one event.

      • As a guide — about 10 schools and 100 performers were in the top 20% of season high point earners last season.

    • Scored as an average of the percentage of points earned vs available for all registrations in the season. In other words, the better you do against others at your level, the higher your chances of winning a Powerhouse award.

  • A few more details:

    • Points are included from all events, Live and In the Wild, throughout the season, including Nationals.

    • Performers competing as a duet will receive 100% of the points from the duet score towards their individual high point score.

    • Teams with duet entries will receive the duet scores one time (not per person in the duet) towards their team high point score.

YEAR END AWARD ARE NOT SEPARATED OUT BY LIVE VS IN THE WILD PERFORMANCES. WE MAY CHOOSE TO AWARD MEDALS, TROPHIES, OR A COMBINATION FOR YEAR END AWARDS. TROPHIES WILL NOT BE SHIPPED. IF YOUR AWARD IS A TROPHY, YOU MUST BE THERE IN PERSON TO RECEIVE IT OR DESIGNATED SOMEONE TO RECEIVE IT FOR YOU. TROPHY WINNERS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO BE THERE IN PERSON TO RECEIVE THEIR AWARD WILL BE SHIPPED A MEDAL.

Season 11 Special Awards

May or may not be given out at a regional qualifier or Nationals or both. These awards are all about special moments that catch the eye of the judges, staff, or host studios. May or may not be restricted to a single performance. Can be expanded at any time.

  • Cirque Style: Bring that old-school circus vibe to your performance!

  • Make it Theater: Does your character knock our socks off? Did you tell us a great story? That’s what this award is all about.

  • Sheer Elegance: Could apply to your costuming, flow, or a combination of factors. Think grace and refinement.

  • Wild Heart: Recognizes people who make a difference in the aerial community. Requires a nomination because I don’t know everything about everyone.

  • Studio Awards: Some of our host studios may opt to add awards that are special to them, such as the very meaningful “Missing You” award given out by the Warped Studio team in Season 10.

Season 12 Awards

Awards received and how they’re calculated will change in Season 12. Please check back for details.
