Here you have it! This year's winners! And some links to past reactions I've posted on some shows, kekeke.

Theater companies, school organizations and independent producers should start preparing their nomination materials for the 25th Aliw Awards (2012).

Since this year's eligibility covers shows until Oct. 15, 2011, it's assumed that all shows performed from Oct. 16, 2011 onwards until next year's deadline for submission of nominations should be eligible, but best to wait for an official announcement from the Aliw Awards.

Anyway, I've noticed some theater actors shouting out in Facebook that they didn't even know they were nominated (much less having won until someone told them). If I had a chance to interview the president or organizers of the Aliw Awards, I would ask these questions:
- Is Alice H. Reyes still alive?
- What is the process of informing shortlisted nominees? Why do some nominees not know they were nominated? And if they didn't know they were nominated, does this mean they weren't invited to the awarding ceremony?
- If a nominee does not know s/he was nominated, who nominated him/her?  Can anyone submit nominations?
- When will the Aliw Awards make a website that will have sections on its history and archives of all its past winners?

Kekeke!

The 24th Aliw Awards (2011) nominees and winners of theater and performing arts categories

The 24th Aliw Awards (2011) announced open nominations last October 2011 and had its awarding ceremony Nov. 8, 2011 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila.

The Aliw Awards "honors the best in Philippine live entertainment" and was founded in 1976 by Alice H. Reyes. Its current president is Jeatte Palabrica.

Here are the nominees and winners of the theater and performing arts categories (information collected from several online sources like gibbscadiz.blogspot.com and from Theaterbator's select DPAs).

To qualify, performances must have been staged from September 2010 to Oct. 15, 2011.
Aliw Awards members are not voting members except for the president.
The Board of Judges is invited by the Aliw Awards Foundation and it deliberates and chooses the winners.
