This year, our very own chief editor Kim Campbell will be a part of  the voting committee along with other industry professionals from around the world. Additionally, CircusTalk will present a special industry award known as the Critics’ Choice Award. 

The CircusTalk Critics’ Choice Award is awarded to recognize circus that has a special impact and social relevance in today’s arts environment. Through social commentary, expression or influence, the winning circus show is lauded for its applicability to current themes, issues or trends of import in the arts world and the culture of its origin. In addition to its social relevance, when deciding upon the honorees for this award, consideration was given to the quality of artistic elements such as originality, technique, artistic delivery, and audience engagement.We’re honored to hand out the award this year and excited to see all the incoming talent.

The first-ever ICA winners will be announced October 2nd in a pre-recorded digital ceremony featuring special guests and nominee highlights. More details to come on that but mark your calendars to join us there!
