Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find the most common questions about our competition.
Who can participate?
The competition is open to everyone!
Can I add the sound after filming the video?
Yes, you can add sound to the video, except for the Flamenco category, as the footwork should be distinct.
Can I use video from competitions or performances or from another event?
It can be used as long as there is no logo that doesn’t belong to you or people who haven’t consented to the video being submitted.
Where should the video be filmed?
There are no location restrictions. It can be filmed in your studio, a theater, an outdoor location, or any other place.
Will I be exposed if I receive a low score?
The goal of our competition is to promote your work and the dance scene in Greece and Cyprus. Scores under 70% will not be publicly announced.
How will I know my results?
The results will first be announced on our live YouTube stream, where only videos of participants who wish to will be shown. Later, the results will be emailed to each participant individually.
How can I pay?
You can pay after submitting your participation request. We will then send you the payment details via email. You can pay either by bank transfer or via IRIS.
What are the restrictions for the videos?
Videos must have a minimum resolution of 720p. Additionally, in all categories except artistic videos, the video must be filmed with a single camera, without scene changes and without interruption. Zooming is allowed, but it should not interfere with judging the choreography and technique (there are no restrictions for artistic videos). Be mindful of the time limits for each category.
What are the criteria for winning prizes?
The rules for this will be posted soon. Unlike last year, the top three in each category will receive a trophy or medal, regardless of their score.
