Application Requirements

This video must be a cover or performance of any K-Pop dance cover, be at least 60 seconds long, and be shared via YouTube link (make sure this video is not set to ‘Private’). This video does not need to be your performance entry song.

● The performance minimum is 2 minutes and a maximum of 4 minutes.

● Hit The Stage is a dance cover contest - skits and themes will not necessarily benefit your scores. Any skits must be kept very brief.

● First come, first served! Duplicate songs will not be allowed in the contest. Emails about song choice repeats will be sent to those who submitted applications. Prepare a back-up choice! Performance Information

● Contestants will be emailed information regarding performance order, day of check-in location, and contest location closer to the convention date.

● Participants must be 15-years-old or older to compete.

● Dress to impress! Outfits help make the performance, but remember to keep your clothing and performance rated PG-13.

● Please note that props, including chairs, will not be provided for you through the convention.

● All contestants must bring their own props for their performance. Please refrain from any props that may harm audience members or other contestants, such as glitter, confetti, or anything being thrown off stage. You will be asked to inform us about prop usage in your confirmation e-mail.

● We ask that you apply with full commitment to performing to avoid last minute drop-outs. There are limited spots for our show and we want to make sure serious contestants reserve these spots.
