The festival presents work from choreographers working with professional dancers of seasoned artistry and fully mature technique (ages 18 and up – Division I) and choreographers who are working with pre-professional dancers from aspiring and emerging companies, colleges and studios (Division II). 


Division I awards a $10,000 Grand Prize
and a $3,000 Second Place Prize. Division II offers a $3,000 Grand Prize and $1,000 Second Place Prize.  All finalists who participate in the festival performances receive Finalist Stipend Awards ranging from $1,250 for ensembles to $500 for solos in Division I and $625 to $250 respectively in Division II.
