üOverall Snr Championship Award
ü2 Grand Champion Awards
ü2 Overall Acting Awards
ü1 Overall Vocal Award
ü13 Gold Medals (Age Category Winners)
ü6 Silver Medals (Runner-Up Age Category Winners)
ü2 Bronze Medals (2nd Runner-Up Age Category Winners)
Confirmation of the results is available on the South African Championships of Performing Arts website www.sacopa.co.za
To live their dream and represent South Africa at the 2017 World Championships, one of our greatest challenges will be meeting the huge financial expense, to take part in this event. We are so grateful to SACOPA who awarded Braeden Buys with a fully paid trip to LA as part of the Overall Snr Championship Award, won by Braeden, but apart from each of the remaining student’s own contribution and fundraising, donations and sponsorships will assist them in generating much-needed funding to be utilised towards all expenses for traveling, accommodation and meals.
We have been informed that the total cost for attending and competing at the World Championship will approximately amount to R95 000 per child, and unfortunately, provision must be made for the depreciating SA rand, having a negative effect on expenses and costs, on a daily basis.
Your contribution of any possible donation or sponsorship will make this invaluable experience possible for these students, a step closer to living their dream, which will also be a great marketing and advertising opportunity for you or your company locally and internationally.
