Format:
The Virtual Finals will be streamed (date TBD, May/June) with a live judging panel in an "American Idol"-style format. After each video entry, judges will comment and provide their final score. Scoring breakdown will be the same as our regional events. Information on how to view the stream is coming soon...
The highest scoring entry will receive the "Signature Étoile Tutu" designed and custom-made by Florimund's, as well as free entry into our 2027 Regionals. Valued at over $3000!
In the event a group wins top prize, the award would go to the studio. If a male identifying student wins, there is an option to win the "Signature Étoile Tunic."
