Cultural & Folk Festival · North America & Caribbean
The national performing arts festival of Jamaica: 84 categories across dance, drama, music, speech and traditional folk forms, in seven age classes.
Sets up Jamaica’s national performing arts festival – five disciplines, 84 categories, seven age classes and medal awards against published mark thresholds – so a coordinator starts from the real programme instead of a blank page.
This template reproduces the national performing arts festival of Jamaica as its published handbook for 2026 describes it. The programme is built from five disciplines: Dance, Drama, Music, Speech and Traditional Folk Forms. Speech is a discipline in its own right rather than a sub-item of Drama, and the template carries 84 categories in all – 18 in Dance, 14 in Drama, 23 in Music, 12 in Speech and 17 in Traditional Folk Forms. They range from Ballet, Praise Dance and Dance Drama through Tea Meeting, Gospel Drama and Short Play, Pianoforte, Steel Pan Music and Vocal Gospel, Dub Poetry, Public Speaking and Jamaican Stand-up Comedy, to folk forms such as Kumina, Revival, Maypole, Quadrille and Ring Games.
Entrants are grouped by age in the festival’s General Classification, with age fixed as at 1 September. Class 1 is ages 3 to 6, Class 2 is 7 to 9, Class 3 is 10 to 12, Class 4 is 13 to 15, Class 5 is 16 to 19 and Class 6 is adults aged 20 and over. Class 7 is a combined class open to any mix of Classes 1 to 6, so the template models it as a common group with no age prefix on entry numbers. Most categories are offered in several classes, and some combinations are barred in the source – for example the youngest classes are not entered in several of the folk forms – so those combinations are left out. In all the template installs 580 category-and-class combinations, each scored out of 100 with its own time limit and warning minute.
Results follow a medal scheme rather than first, second and third places. A score of 91 to 100 earns a Gold Award, 81 to 90.9 Silver, 71 to 80.9 Bronze and 65 to 70.9 a Certificate of Merit, with no award below 65. The template installs these four bands as grades with 3, 2, 1 and 0 bonus points, and adds four overall recognitions – Best Overall Class, Best Overall Presentation, a named national honour and a Special Teacher Award – so a school or community group can roll medals up into a league. The source festival runs in three stages (auditions, finals, then national finals), with only the top gold medallist per class and category moving forward, and the national stage is marked out of 50; the template is set up for the 100-mark rounds and a coordinator can adjust the maximum score for a later stage.
A coordinator does not have to run all 84 categories. A parish-style audition day, a school or community showcase, or a diaspora festival can trim the disciplines, classes and items to what is on the day, keep the medal bands and enter results as each panel reports. Per-criterion mark weights are not installed for this template, so the panel adds its own criteria (or scores a single total) before the day.
Where this event comes from
The festival is Jamaica’s national performing arts competition, run annually through a ladder of local, regional and national rounds. This template is rebuilt from its published 2026 handbook: the five disciplines, the General Classification and the medal thresholds come from that document.
Where this event is run
Jamaica, where the festival is run as local auditions followed by finals and a national stage. The same format – discipline-based categories, seven age classes and medal bands – suits any community, school or diaspora organiser who wants a Caribbean-style performing arts festival, including folk-form, speech and drama categories that general arts-festival templates do not carry.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change this template after installing it?
Yes — installing it creates a fully configured, live event, not a locked package. Every age group, competition item, rule and scoring setting can be edited afterwards to match exactly what your event actually needs.
Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?
No. Installing a template does the setup work for you; you only need to review the details (dates, unit or house names) and open registration.
Want the fuller picture first? See our guide to Judge scoring and tabulation software.
