The group is creating a new award this season for "Outstanding Video/Projection Design", mirroring a similar category that recently popped up at the Drama Desk Awards. This recognition of increasingly used projection elements brings the number of categories at the OCC to 25.
This season marks the 66th year of the Outer Critics Circle Awards, which bestow honors to productions both on and off Broadway. Winners will be announced May 9th. Note: Because they were eligible for their Off-Broadway incarnations, the productions Hamilton, Blackbird, and Disaster! were only eligible for new elements.
UPDATE: Since Shuffle Along is not open and has not invited any press yet, the producers asked the OCC voters to consider the musical for next season's awards. The musical will still qualify for the Tony Awards, but the OCC has decided to consider it for the 2016-2017 season.
