If you are entering as a group, please let us know this on your application form and provide details of the main contact person. A dance group leader above the age of 24 can apply for the group but must identify the young people’s involvement and where possible involve them in the application process.

Group applications should identify themselves in the age category which reflects most of the group members’ ages. Group applications should demonstrate group performances or choreography where each member has contributed to the overall content.

1. Complete the online application form and explain the following:

– Why you have entered the awards
– What your/your group’s role is within the dance activity
– How the dance activity has developed your skills (dance and other skills)

2. Submit the work/piece via a video link that you would like to be judged on and label this clearly.

This should be your main piece of work that you would like the judges to focus on. Your video footage should be clear and show the themes of your work as clearly as possible.

3. Submit supporting evidence about your work, which should be one or more of the following:

– Video links of rehearsal or performance footage with any passwords to access videos needed
– Videos of yourself talking, describing your dance work
– Links to websites featuring your work
– Photographs

The more evidence you send, the more the judging panel will know about you. Please ensure you put web links and video passwords in the ‘Other Information’ box of the application form.

The more evidence you send, the more the judging panel will know about you.
