OSAI Adjudication Information
All applicants, whether accepted, not accepted, or accepted as an alternate, will be notified by mail in early April.

All auditions are judged on a statewide basis, NOT by audition location. Selection is made at the conclusion of statewide auditions based on audition scores and application materials, NOT on audition location, applicants' hometowns, or other demographic information.  Whether a student chooses to audition in his or her own town or another location will have ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT on that student's chance of being accepted to OSAI.

Acting, ballet, and modern dance auditions are all "live" auditions, meaning applicants are scored at the audition. Choir and orchestra auditions are digitally recorded and judged at a later date. Choir, orchestra, creative writing, and drawing/painting auditions are blind, meaning adjudicators do not know the applicant's name, age, hometown, etc. Film/video and photography auditions are partially blind, in that the interviewer has information about the applicant, but the other adjudicators who score the work at a later date do not.

Sample adjudication forms for each artistic discipline are located on each discipline's page.  (Please see links at the top of this page.)

Please keep in mind that OSAI is extremely competitive. Last year, over 1,300 students auditioned for about 270 spots. If you aren't accepted this year, please try again next year. Thank you for auditioning and good luck!
