Event Day Guidelines 

We want to make sure that everyone (Participants as well as Organizers) have a very pleasant experience. From that perspective, given below are some other important guidelines:

  • A google form would be made available for contestants to submit the - Dance audio file. Dance audio file must be received 3 days before the competition before the competition day precisely following guidelines mentioned in the form.  
  • Late submissions would have penalty in terms of points as it will create a lot of planning problems for us. Please submit proactively. It is extremely important to have correct naming standards followed while submitting the audio file to avoid rejection of submissions. Please follow the instructions given in the form and help provide a very good experience for you and audience.
