Important Competition Rules Changes

Special Note: Routines must be submitted on DVD: To enter the IJA Championships, you must submit a DVD of your act (actual costume, music and routine) when you sign up for the competition at the festival on Monday. The video on DVD must be from a single continuous shot of your act, with no editing at all. The top acts will be selected for the stage finals in each category.
