This morning the Tony Awards in partnership with Audience Rewards, Broadway’s Official Loyalty Program, announced the return of the fan-favorite Official Tony Awards Challenge, set to begin on Tuesday, May 5, at noon ET following the Tony Award nominations.
In this challenge, Broadway fans can participate in an interactive ballot-style game to predict the winners of the 79th Annual Tony Awards in each of the 26 categories. Fans will have a chance to win a number of prizes, including a “Dream Week on Broadway” that includes airfare, hotel and tickets to five Broadway shows of your choice.
This year, participants will receive Audience Rewards ShowPoints just for playing, earning 20 Audience Rewards points per category, for as many as 520 Audience Rewards ShowPoints for a complete ballot, regardless of the number of correct guesses. That’s enough points to redeem for an orchestra seat to a Broadway show for as low as $36. To play, please visit TonyAwardsChallenge.com. Players must be Audience Rewards members to enter, and the program is free to join at AudienceRewards.com.
By guessing all 26 categories correctly, one grand prize winner could receive a Dream Week on Broadway, including:
- Roundtrip airfare for you and a guest to NYC
- Five days / four nights at Sofitel New York
- Tickets to five Broadway shows of your choice for you and a guest
- Tickets to the Museum of Broadway and a gift card for dinner at Rockefeller Center’s Jupiter restaurant
In addition to the grand prize winner, the runner-up winner will receive 50,000 Audience Rewards ShowPoints, redeemable for Broadway tickets, merchandise, and exclusive experiences of their choice.
