Galaxy Awards
These awards cover 10 seasons and 34 productions. Nominations were solicited from 34 individuals who regularly attended or were involved with Starlight productions. Then a judging committee of 7 reviewed and voted on the nominations looking for level of difficulty and standard of execution. Many thanks to the diligent work of those judges: Susan DeRosa, Elizabeth Todd, Chris Klaver, Jan Ross, Cathy Wotring, Lori Arendsen and Linda Granger.
