The Country Players presents an award annually to graduating secondary school students who have participated in at least three school or community theatrical productions and/or have contributed to the Country Players program in a significant way.

The recipient is nominated through youth membership or by solicitation in our newsletter, and nominations and recommendations are to be considered by the adult members and decided on the basis that his individual:

• to the best of his or her ability, have contributed to all areas and aspects of productions, and
• have contributed to the growth of the Country Players.

The award will consist of an engraved plaque or trophy, and will be presented at the student's graduation or awards ceremony, if allowed by the school; or at another time.
