2025 ADEA Finalists
Entries are in, the judges have debated and our Finalists for the 2025 Australasian Dance Education Awards have been selected. Woohoo!
Each category was judged by multiple judges from a range of backgrounds including dance, business & entrepreneurship. Each submission was judged by a set of criteria, with each of the judges giving a score for each question individually. Those scores were tallied up and compared across each of the judges. The team at ADEA were not part of the judging panel, their role was purely administrative.
All of the judges were also given the opportunity to provide feedback, which we will be passing on to all applicants at the end of the Awards process. ADEA prides itself on integrity and transparency within the judging process. All decisions are final. Congratulations to all of our entrants, the judges were overwhelmed by the calibre of entries across the range of categories. You are all to be congratulated.
Now is the time to buy a new dress, book your flights and join us at our Gala Event in Brisbane!
