Contest Description:
First Round: will consist of 2 to 4 contestants performing with fire (with the fire tool of their choice) on stage, simultaneously, for approximately 1-1/2 minutes. One person from each grouping will be chosen by our judging panel to advance to the second round. Each judge will also have one “wild card” to advance a person of their choice forward who would have otherwise been eliminated. Tie-breakers will be decided by the Contest Announcer.
Second Round: will consist of a solo performer with the fire tool of their choice. Each solo artist will perform for approximately 2 minutes before coming face-to-face with our Contest Judges. Each judge will be allowed a small amount of time to critique the artist’s performance. Each judge will then choose the top three winners, with audience participation as needed.
Contest sponsors will provide all music for both rounds. Note: Music for second round will be extremely challenging.
Judging: Contest winners will be selected by our three-member Judging Panel, as well as by audience participation if requested. All decisions of the Contest Judges are final. Employees and Family Members of Trick Concepts are ineligible.
