Audition Criteria

Initial Entry to AIGT is as easy as uploading a YouTube file to our entry system. Everything is done via our website online. All you need is to upload a 2-minute quality video of your past dance performance, to your YouTube account. Then, the video link is to be copied into your online entry form along with your registration details.

Any misrepresentation will lead to disqualification. Disqualification may occur only if the dance is in a very elementary level or of poor quality. For group events 80% participants in the Grand Finale should be present in the Video sent.

The initial screening and Judging of the videos submitted for audition will be done by expert professionals/Gurus in the respective areas from India. The decision of these judges will select the contestants in each Category from each Group who will compete live in front of the judging panel on the Finale Day.

All Videos of the Finalists will be uploaded on AIGT Facebook page. This will give each entry a golden opportunity to win another exciting award “AIGT MOST POPULAR PERFORMANCE AWARD”. This award will be purely based on Facebook voting. Please see Annexure 4 for details.
