The Tony Awards Challenge is back. The Tony Awards and Audience Rewards are teaming up to give one lucky fan a week-long "Broadway dream week," including airfare, a hotel stay at Sofitel, Broadway tickets, and more.
To participate, fans will fill out a Tony Awards ballot giving their predictions for this year's winners in all 26 categories. Along with the grand prize, winners can receive Audience Rewards ShowPoints, which can be redeemed for tickets, experiences, show merchandise, and more.
Entries will be accepted after this year's nominees are announced April 30 at TonyAwardsChallenge.com.
