<p>It sounds like a very nice and new award program and that your son is involved in it. The thing is, only those who live in areas where there are regional awards for MT can participate. I have read of such regional competitions/awards for MT in certain regions of the country sponsored by professional theaters in those regions and they sound really super. We have nothing like that in our region or state. Nobody from here could even qualify, therefore, for these national MT awards.</p>
