Oude Graanmarkt 5, 1000 Brussel, België | Brussels, BU
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝟮𝟯𝟮𝟲.The One World Alliance has helped transform what people once called the New World Order.
Long ago, that system was built on capitalism and individualism. It promised that everything was possible for everyone, at any time.
But reality looked different.
Most of the world’s money and power ended up in the hands of what they used to call the 1%.
Over time, another way of thinking began to grow. Inspired by organizing traditions and community structures rooted in Africa, people started imagining a world built on shared power, collective responsibility, and community care.
This vision became the 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚.
Now, in the year 2326, we look back at the moment when creativity, resistance, strategy, and community helped shape the future we live in today.
So today we invite you — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘵-𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 — to come together.
To remember the past.
To see the present.
To imagine the future.
And to unlock🔒 the stories with your talent as the key🔑.
You are cordially invited to The AfroPride Ball, celebrating African Pride in Europe since 2019.

✊🏿1. 𝙁𝙌 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 – 𝙁𝙚𝙢 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮
Executive vs Teacher (1 trophy)
In the year 2326, the One World Alliance is built on collective knowledge and shared leadership. The
elders and pioneers of the community are not only respected — they are responsible for guiding the next
generation.
Within the Alliance, the Fem Queen Academy was created to protect and strengthen the future of the
community. Here, seasoned women take on the role of executives and teachers, passing down
knowledge, survival skills, and leadership to those who come after them. Because in the One World
Alliance, knowledge is power — and the future is taught.
Each participant will give a mini lecture about any topic of up to 3 minutes, offering advice to the next
generation of Fem Queens. A writing board and marker will be available if you wish to illustrate or
emphasize your lesson.
Participants must be on HRT for 3 years or more.
Look: Teacher or Executive look.
✊🏿2. 𝙅𝙧. 𝙁𝙌 & 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 – 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮(2 trophies)
The Fem Queen Academy of the One World Alliance prepares the next generation of leaders. For this
category we invite the Junior Fem Queens and Drags to step into the classroom.
You are the future of the community — the future executives, the future teachers, the future leaders of the
Alliance.
As part of this category, we want you write an essay imagining your future. Describe how you see
yourself in the years to come. What kind of woman will you become? What will you contribute to the
community?
Your reflection should be no longer than 1 minute.
Look: Student look including reading glasses, a school skirt and two pig tails.
✊🏿3. 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 – 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝘼𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚(OTA – 1 trophy)
The One World Alliance continues to grow as new citizens arrive, ready to begin their journey and find
their place in this new society.
For this category we want to see the new generation — the fresh faces who are just stepping onto the
scene.
Fresh, fresh, fresh — FRESH tilapia.
You are new. You have just begun your journey into your womanhood or manhood, and today you
introduce yourself to the Alliance.
For this category the focus will not soley be on your ability to blend (we are not here to spark anyone’s
dysmorphia.) The judges will be asked to focus on your presence, your story and your courage. Because
it do take nerve.
Participants must be on their journey for a year or less.
Tell us who you are. Tell us who you are becoming. The Alliance welcomes its newest members.
Look: In cargo pants and white t-shirt
✊🏿4. 𝙈𝙁 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 – 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚
(BQ, Butch & TM – 3 trophies + overall)
The One World Alliance has left behind the hardcore gender expectations of the old New World Order. In
the year 2326 masculinity is not fragile.
In rebuilding society, the Alliance looks toward the traditions and knowledge systems of Africa — cultures
where masculinity has never been limited to Western ideas of dress.
For this category we invite the Butch Queens, Butches and Transmen to embody the masculinity of the
Alliance. Give us confident realness while incorporating garments traditionally read as skirts, robes,
wraps, or dresses. Show us that your masculinity remains undeniable.
NB: If you are walking the twister category you must get your 10's for Realness first.
✊🏿5. 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙨
MF & FF Performance (2 trophies + overall)
Every 768 days, the Alliance celebrates the New Year. During this moment, the spiritual exchangers
gather to receive guidance for the cycle ahead.
Through gold bangles, the spiritual exchangers of the OWA receive messages from the past, the present,
and the future.
This year’s message has arrived: “Why so serious, have fun!'
The message is clear — Sometimes you just got to give a bangy 56789 set and keep it pushing.
• FF Performance = Gold bangles and a mini skirt. We want vintage new world order GLAM.
• MF Performance = Gold bangles, Low rise jeans white thong and crop top please
For this category, you must come BANGLED OUT. The bangles are your connection to the spiritual
frequencies.
✊🏿6. 𝘽𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 (1 trophy)
On May 15th, 2132, the world experienced what is now known as the Big Ass Revolution.
It began with the African Black Caribbean Diasporic Global Women’s Coalition (ABCDGWC). Across the
globe, trans women, cis women, and femmes rose up on the same day — confronting their abusers,
exposing corrupt politicians, and gathering their sons.
From aunties to iconic mothers, everyone stepped into action. The world had never seen such a
coordinated global revolt.
After the revolution, the One World Alliance began rebuilding society. They quickly realized that
sustaining life meant understanding the forces that power the world:
• Water - Hands
• Fire - Catwalk
• Earth - Floor
• Air - Spin & Dip
• Energy - Duckwalk
Beginners, tonight you must choose the performance element you control best and showcase it for your
10s.
Your look must be inspired by the connecting natural elements. Show us how the power of nature moves
through your body.
✊🏿7. 𝙎𝙚𝙭 𝙎𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙣 – 𝙎𝙠𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙨
FF, MF, New (3 trophies+overall)
After the Big Ass Revolution, the old economic systems collapsed and the world entered a deep
depression. Bread costs more than one million euros (old NWO currency), and people could barely afford
public transport just to go to work. (work is something people used to do back in the days, in exchange for
money).
Then came the skrippers and the pimps.
Masters of the hustle, they knew how to move resource, create value, and navigate difficult economies. In
less than half a decade (New World Order time), they helped stabilize the global economy.
This is why strippers and pimps are highly respected in our society.
But wait we forgot to tell you that because the revolt was femme led the traditional roles switched. Now in
2326 skrippers are often men and pimps are often females
Sex Sirens you know what to do.
New Sex Siren will be OTA. You can choose to either bring it as a skripper or as a pimp.
✊🏿8. 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙬/ 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙁𝙚𝙨𝙩
In the Name of Ancestor Bernie Jourdan Ebony Lanvin.
(AA, EU, Beginners, New Runway – 3 trophies + overall )
In the One World Alliance, disagreement is not feared — it is understood as part of keeping a community
balanced. Inspired by African traditions where people gathered to speak openly and release tensions
before they grew into something harmful, the Alliance occasionally calls for small ceremonial purges.
These moments allow people to clear the air — not through violence, but through shade.
One of these ceremonies is the Shady Runway.
Always held in the name of Ancestor Bernie Lanvin, whose presence helped define the art of runway.
Bring Runway with unique eyewear and a shady entrance. Your eyewear should be in cohesion with your
look. Let your walk speak for you, because in the One World Alliance, sometimes the healthiest way to
resolve tension...is through shade.
✊🏿9. 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚
Runway vs Performance (overall trophy)
Under the old New World Order, mathematicians worked with numbers on paper, calculating systems
that served profit and hierarchy. In the One World Alliance, mathematics lives in patterns, rhythm, and
movement — inspired by traditions like the Sona sand drawings of the Chokwe people of Angola and
Zambia and the polyrhythms of African dance and music.
For this reason, the mathematicians of the Alliance are the creatives — dancers, hair braiders, architects,
and designers — those who understand structure through their craft.
Every three weeks, under the full moon, the communities gather to address the needs of the people. At
each gathering, a different group of mathematicians provides the calculations that guide the Alliance.
For this moon cycle, the task falls to the movers and dancers: to calculate the resources needed for
housing, healthcare, and education.
Tonight, Runway vs Performance, you have Moon Calculation duties.
Wear a bodysuit, so your lines are clear and no calculation is missed.
✊🏿10. 𝙏𝙖𝙜 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 – 𝙊𝙡𝙙 𝙒𝙖𝙮 & 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙒𝙖𝙮.
After the fall of the New World Order, the One World Alliance faced an important question: How do we
make sure the systems of fascism, oppression, and division never return?
Across the globe, the Alliance opened what became known as the Reimagining Labs.
People could come to examine the beliefs they had inherited from the old world and imagine new ways of
living together.
Inspired by African traditions of collective learning and restoration, scientists, artists, and visionaries
worked side by side in these labs to design the future.
Through experimentation, dialogue, and creativity, people began to unlearn the systems of the past and
build new ones rooted in cooperation, care, and imagination.
Tonight, you are the researchers of the Reimagining Lab.
Look: inspired by laboratory aesthetics and experimentation = Lab coats, protective gear, and
experimental silhouettes.
✊🏿11. 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙤𝙣 – 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨
Best Dressed & Fashion Killa (2 trophies + overall)
Once in a while, different regions of the One World Alliance report unusual sightings.
Alleged comrads appear suddenly through mysterious portals. Scholars speculate that these beings
might be coming from the year 3002.
When they arrive, they do not speak.
They do not touch.
They do not interact.
The only thing they do... is showcase their fashion.
Their garments are unlike anything we know — silhouettes, materials, and designs that seem to belong to
a world far beyond our time.
Fashion historians believe that one of these appearances will happen during the 2326 AfroPride Ball.
We are very curious to see what the future looks like.
✊🏿12. 𝘽𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚 (1 trophy)
You are part of the visiting group from the future. However you are inspired by Ross Infiniti.
✊🏿13. 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩(1 trophy)
For your new collection you are inspired by these beings from the future. Show us one piece of your
collection that take us to the future.
✊🏿14. 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙚 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 9 𝙂𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙨
In the One World Alliance, intelligence is understood in many different ways. Where the old world spoke
about sin, the Alliance recognizes gifts — unique forms of brilliance that allow people and communities to
thrive. For this category, embody one of the 9 Gifts of Genius through the pioneers and trailblazers who
represent them. Bring it in a look inspired by them or one of their iconic photoshoots.

As this is the first time in European Ballroom History that we have this amount on the category, So the
Alliance wants to make it hot.
Listening to the message the spiritual girls gave us- We are looking for a fun set.
This is why we want you to recreate the viral* moment of 2025. Dexta Rapper, father Masereka and his
now iconic waist. Waaaa, Wa wa wa ani waaaaaa. Your Shake that Ass partner should be dressed like
father Masereka and make sure the waist is ready to wine.
The DJ will give you a good afrobeat.
Bring an original chant and make sure it is:
➤ Clear
➤ On beat
* In the early 2000s, people shared images and videos through a system called the internet. When a clip
spread very quickly across these networks, it was called “going viral.”
✊🏿16. 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮 – 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙞, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙣
(FF, MF – 4 trophies + overall)
In the One World Alliance, the body is understood as more than flesh — it is a living archive of memory.
Across generations, bodies carry traces of survival, joy, struggle, and wisdom passed down through
families and communities.
Across the African diaspora, the story of the spider travels with that memory: Anansi in Ghana, Anancy in
Jamaica, Kompa Nanzi in the Caribbean. Through this trickster, people carried lessons of intelligence,
resistance, and survival across oceans and centuries.
Tonight, bring Body and embody the spirit of Anansi — the intelligence, the survival, and the stories
carried through the body.
✊🏿17. 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚
Lip Sync w/ Production & Sing-Off w/ Production (2 trophys)
Long before the systems of the old world, people across Africa used drums as communication. Messages
could travel from village to village through rhythm.
In the One World Alliance, music still carries that power.
Across the regions, performers step forward to send their message to the people.
Tonight the setting is intimate. A small gathering in one of the Alliance regions. You begin with nothing
more than your voice and a guitar.
But the Alliance knows performers can always change the signal. What begins quietly may suddenly
expand — dancers, production, spectacle.
Because in the One World Alliance, rhythm is still a language.
And sometimes... music is the answer.
For Sing Off: Please send in your technical needs before May 10th
