OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
This is a competition, taking place during the Pantomime season in which groups affiliated to the
Somerset Fellowship of Drama can enter their pantomimes to be judged by a member of the Adjudicating Panel who afterwards sends them a full written report. All entries are also seen by the CTC Moderator who writes a review which is published in Spotlight Online.
​
The Competition is extremely popular and there are nearly 30 entries each year.
At the end of the season, usually in April, the panel meets to agree which productions merit nominations in any of up to 26 categories for the Groups and a similar number for Individual Performances, and to decide on a winner in each.
​
The nominations, and the winners, in each category are announced at a Presentation Evening which is held every year in May. There is a buffet supper and entertainment is provided in the form of a cabaret, made up of short pieces selected from some of the year's pantos.
These are all of the nominations and wins that the society has won over the years.
