It's both. It's part of one of the scenarios and also an award you can win in freeform.

Anyways, I read it as saying you need $15K in revenue - not necessarily profit - but not sure as it's been a while. Don't have grandstands that just sit empty - they have a maintenance fee that will cost you some $. Research all the Orca tricks - use all the toys! Change the order/combination of the tricks - guests will may go back for more. Place the stands near the center and towards the front of the zoo where most guests tend to be, and new ones can get to the show in time. Make it easily accesible. If you need lots more guests, lower the zoo admission price ($0 if needed!) Also you can place highly popular animals (can be non-MM) as that will also keep more folks in the area. Keep a restaurant near the stands so they don't get too unhappy.

You may have to run the show frequently or continuously. You can do this and not overwork the animals by having 2 exhibit tanks joining the show tank. Only have one exhibit tank connected to the show tank at a time. After one show is over and the animals go back, raise the tank so the door disappears. Lower the tank from the 2nd exhibit, and those animals will be used for the next show. Keep alternating the exhibits this way. If both tanks have doors, all the animals will go into one exhibit.

It's been a while since I did this. IF the award comes at the END of the year, and you get the needed money, stop running Orca shows, and delete all the stands. If it come right as you get the $15k, never mind.
