Award Subcommittee
This subcommittee consists of the President of the PSA, Executive Director, Senior Director of Education and Accreditation, selected members of the media, and PSA professionals. Committee members will be present at the U.S. Championships and U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships and will review every performance at junior and senior level for both long and short programs
Criteria
One winner is chosen from each category in men’s, ladies, pairs, dance, and synchronized skating. Selection will be based on performance, not placement and will not necessarily reflect the best technical skater. Elements considered include artistry, charisma/appeal, balance, originality, drama/emotion, music, costuming, humor, showmanship, quality, theme, and technical ability. Votes are tabulated by the executive director’s office and determined by a majority vote.
