COMPETITION GUIDELINES:

Crew sizes must be a minimum of 5 members with a maximum of 8 members. All entering crews must prepare a 5-7 minute performance piece. After the performance round, groups will be chosen to continue on to the battle portion.

The battle portion will be an ALL STYLES battle judged by a panel experienced in a variety of street dance forms. The applicable forms are as follows:

Locking
Popping
B-boy/B-girl
Hip Hop/Social Dance
House
Freestyle

Each round (final, semi-final, quarter-final depending on the number of crews) will consist of one or more crew battles. A crew battle will consist of a few exchnages. Each exchange will be focused on a particular style randomly pre-selected before the crew battle (meaning that crews will demonstrate their ability at multiple styles in a round). The styles for a round will be announced before the particular battle begins. In the event of a tie, the judges may choose yet another style and add an additional exchange. Unless it is the final round, the winner will progress to the next round.

Please send the group name, contact info, project outline, and video link to info@funkinetic.com with the subject line "Battle to Save the World" by midnight Friday, July 16th, 2011.
