“Request to Be Social” Campaign for the Broadway San Diego Awards

 

Overview: The Broadway San Diego Awards are now in their 12th year of recognizing top high school performers and productions. We want to celebrate you and your school’s amazing talent by showcasing your productions on Broadway San Diego’s social media channels. We promote national tours like Hamilton, Wicked, and so many incredible shows, but this year, the spotlight is on your school! As part of the Broadway San Diego Awards, we want to promote your hard work on our platforms. Let’s bring your production into the Broadway SD social spotlight!
