The 2008 NYDC Golden Nose Award Nominees
Posted April 28, 2008
Note: Congratulations to all the nominees. Posted as received.
New York Downtown Clown would like to thank all the performers of our
second year. Without each of their talents, innovations, and hard
work, there would be no show on the third Monday of every month. The
amazing clowns of New York City are brave, poetic, unique, and funny.
New York Clowns are a strong community and the following nominees
represent some of the leaders in clown education, performance, and
production from this past year.
AWARD CATEGORY EXPLANATIONS
The Audience Choice Awards go to the clown or clown
group who received the most audience votes over the past year at The
New York Downtown Clown Revue performances in a specific category. The
four Nominees are the top four most voted for in each category. The
clown or clown group with the most votes in a category is the winner
of that category and will be announced at the Golden Nose Awards
Ceremony on May 19th.
Clown Achievement of The Year goes to the company or
group that has accomplished an outstanding clown achievement. This
award goes to large-scale achievements that serve the clown community
as a whole or to achievements of clown work for commercial/mass
appeal. Nomination and award are at the discretion of New York
Downtown Clown producers.
To be eligible for the Clown of The Year category,
the clown must have appeared on stage or in a film of the current
year's Clown Revue. This award is for individual clowns who work
professionally and artistically and have also made contributions to
the larger clown community through education, mentorship, directing,
producing, and/or other forms. Nomination and award are at the
discretion of New York Downtown Clown producers.
