THE CHRIS The CHRIS Statuette is the highest award given in each category. Entries are judged on a seven point rating system. The superior rating of seven is required for winning the "Chris." Ties are possible if, in the juror's opinion, different styles of production merit multiple winners. The statuette is an original interpretation of the Christopher Columbus statue which stands in front of the Columbus City Hall. The statuette, six inches high, is cast in bronze and mounted on a mahogany block and was sculpted by Robert Rohm, formerly of the Columbus Museum of Art.

Productions are listed by the Division in which they are entered by title (in alpha order), followed by producer and/or entrant.
