If a student can receive an averaged Superior or Outstanding score on their Thespy - they will win a ribbon of excellence. Students that qualify (with a superior performance score on the adjudicated rubric) will be given the opportunity to represent B.C at the International Thespians Festival (ITF) in June.

Students who score an average of Superior on the adjudicated rubric assessments will receive Blue Ribbons and students who score an average of Outstanding on the adjudicated rubric assessments will receive Yellow Ribbons. This is not a competition where students are competing with each other for a limited number of awards - instead they are working towards excellence on a rubric.
