CATEGORIES:
🏆 BEGINNERS RUNWAY – MODEL IN TRAINING
Every legend had their first walk. Tonight we’re looking for confidence, presence, and potential. In a neon colored look, show us a clean runway walk that says “the future is here.”
🏆 BEGINNERS VOGUE – THE NEW SCHOOL
A new generation of performers has emerged and they aren’t backing down! Tonight, we’re not expecting perfection — we are looking for passion, performance, star quality, and of course, the 5 elements of VOGUE! Bring it to the runway in a denim look and make your presence known!
🏆 $100 HAND PERFORMANCE — STORY TIME
Tell us a story with your hands, but leave the gloves at home. You’ll need a blindfold for this one!
🏆 $100 Commentator vs. Commentator
You’ll pull a word out of a hat and get your 10s incorporating that word in you chant!
🏆 $300 SEX SIREN — WILD WILD WEST
MF vs. FF / Battle for the Cash
Tonight we’re bringing the Wild West to the West Coast! Whether you’re the outlaw everybody warned us about, the saloon heartbreaker, the rodeo rider, or the sheriff nobody can resist. From desert heat to West Coast temptation, your sex appeal should feel effortless, confident, and unforgettable!
NO BABY OIL!
🏆 $200 BODY – JUNGLE FANTASY
MF vs. FF / Battle for the Cash
Tonight we want WILD BEAUTY. Bring it in jungle prints and/or animal textures— and turn the runway into your habitat.
NO BABY OIL!
🏆 $200 OLD WAY - THE BLUEPRINT
Before the tricks and theatrics, there was precision. We want to see an Old Way performance that honors the foundation: clean lines, sharp poses, control, and elegance. Show us why the blueprint still matters in a blue monochromatic look!
🏆 $200 BEST DRESSED — MAIN CHARACTER
JUST BRING IT! Step out like the world has been waiting for your arrival. We want to see a head-to-toe look that screams lead role, not background extra.
🏆 $300 FACE — MOON SIGN
MF vs. FF vs. GNC/NB / Battle for the Cash
Every zodiac sign carries its own aura and personality. Tonight we want you to channel that energy and bring it in a celestial look inspired by your moon sign.
🏆 $400 REALNESS — JET SET
MF vs. FF / Battle for the Cash
The sun is out and the drinks are cold. Tonight you’re taking ballroom on vacation. From the beaches of the Caribbean to late-night resort parties and tropical nightlife. Bring it in resort wear, tropical prints, swimwear, beach-to-club fashion, or vacation glamour.
🏆 $600 RUNWAY - VINTAGE ARCHIVE
MF vs. FF vs. GNC/NB / Battle for the Cash
Fashion fades, but style is forever. Tonight we celebrate the eras that continue to inspire. From the glamour of the 70s to the boldness of the 80s, the supermodel energy of the 90s, and the iconic streetwear of the early 2000s — Bring it in vintage inspired fashion from any era!
🏆 $1,000 PERFORMANCE— LOVERS BALL
MF vs. FF vs. GNC/NB / Battle for the Cash
The world feels heavy right now — war, politics, division, inflation, censorship, climate disasters, BALLROOM DRAMA, and communities fighting for basic human rights. But through it all, LOVE remains revolutionary. Tonight we celebrate unity, chosen family, and community at THE LOVERS BALL. Bring it in RED & WHITE to symbolize passion, strength, and solidarity. *LOVE IS THE MESSAGE*
