The Joci Awards

Experience the Magic of the 2025 Joci Awards!

Get ready for one of the most electrifying nights of the year! The 2025 Joci Awards is where passion meets performance, dreams take center stage, and the rising stars of San Antonio and South Texas shine brighter than ever before. Presented by The Majestic Empire Foundation, this one-night-only spectacular will, for the first time ever, transform the legendary Majestic Theatre into a breathtaking celebration of youth, talent, and the transformative power of the performing arts and arts education.

From show-stopping musical numbers by outstanding high school ensembles to Broadway-worthy solo performances, the Joci Awards is more than a show — it’s a movement. Each performance is part of a thrilling competition for life-changing scholarships, awarded to some of the most gifted high school performing arts students across South Texas. To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.7 million, helping launch the dreams of countless young artists — no matter their chosen field of study.

Recognized as the largest and most comprehensive program of its kind in the nation, and proudly serving as an official Regional Awards Program for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (The Jimmy Awards®), the Joci Awards is a powerful celebration of artistry, ambition, and possibility.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the future take flight — live, center stage, for one unforgettable night only. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, you’ll leave inspired.
