Each year since 1994, at the end of the season, the magazine sponsors a jury of 50 critics to select the best in several categories:
- opera house of the year (Opernhaus des Jahres)
- staging of the year (Aufführung des Jahres)
- stage director of the year (Regisseur/Regisseurin des Jahres)
- singer of the year (Sänger/Sängerin des Jahres)

- conductor of the year (Dirigent/Dirigentin des Jahres)
- orchestra of the year (Orchester des Jahres)
- premiere of the year (Uraufführung des Jahres)
They are usually selected from German-speaking countries, Austria, Germany and German-speaking Switzerland. In 2011, La Monnaie received the accolade, the first time it has been given to a non-German speaking house.
