Applications must be submitted by Friday, October 15th
At-con signups will not be accepted.
Competitors will be performing their entire routines for three judges. All performers will be scored using the same system, and the best 20 to 25 acts will advance to the finals depending on availability.
We will contact you shortly before the convention with a timeslot for your at-con audition.
Fursuits are required for both auditions and finals.
There are two categories - Solo acts, and Group acts. Group acts will be allotted more time per act depending on the number of dancers (See Performance Duration below).
However, all acts will be judged together. (i.e. There is only 1 first place, 1 second place, 1 third place except in cases of ties).
All entries must have music for their routine, submitted with your entry form. Sorry, we will not take submissions at the convention. Try to keep your music PG-13, as the competition is an all-ages show. Please censor gratuitous expletives.
All entries must have music for their routine, submitted with your entry form. Music selections should be edited to the correct duration and ready to play for your final performance, in .MP3 format, and at least 256kbps. All files must be named: "[Your Fursuit Name].mp3" (For example: "Foxy McBushytail.mp3")
What you perform in the preliminaries must be what you intend to perform for the actual show! This allows our prelim judges to make the most informed decision in choosing the best acts for the stage.
This is a Fursuit dance competition after all! You need all of the following to compete: a head, hand paws, foot paws or costume shoes, and a tail. If you choose to wear a partial, please make sure you wear clothes that cover your bare skin! You will need to wear the above for auditions AND finals.
You will actually be scored on this. Treat your other competitors with respect, as well as the staff running the competition. If you ever have a disagreement, always discuss it politely. While we appreciate the competitive spirit, try to make sure other dancers can have fun too. It’s not that serious, after all.
Furries of all ages will be watching and listening so make sure the lyrics are radio appropriate. Don’t go overboard with any vulgar content in your performance or there will be heck to pay! HECK!
In the end, remember most of all: This is just for fun! If you don’t get in, don’t get discouraged. We’re all dancers here, and the world is our stage; not just this one. Good luck, and see you out there on the dance floor!
Please show up an hour before showtime.
Is one of your group members sick or nervous? The show can go on. Groups who qualify for finals may substitute or drop one individual in finals as long as it affects less than half the group. (ie. a 2 person group must find a substitute in case one person cannot perform, but a 3-person group can either drop or substitute a member.).
These are some of the aspects our judges will be looking for; some judges may consider different aspects more important than others!
