Honorable Judges:
Atinder Cloty
Govind Rangrass

Saleem Malkana

The competition will have more emphasis on the creative, yet proper aspect of Bhangra.

Live or Music?
Live or Music should not be a conflict. Live will not have advantage over music, or vice versa. Live and Music can both be creative in their own way, so nothing in the judging criteria will have a category which may favor specifically live or music. Proper bhangra aspect in judging will based on your steps, grace, etc. You will not get extra points just for being live.

There will be full security throughout the show.

Photography during the event will be covered by MPELive!

Prize Money:
1st Place: $2000 US
2nd Place: $1000 US
3rd Place: $500 US

We thought about doing the show in manhattan, however venues have small stage sizes for example manhattan bhangra venue and addiction venue, If you know NYC traffic is a big problem, and our main concern PARKING for the audience.

York college is as convenient as it can get considering all the factors listed above.

Stay Tuned

 

[Ruch]

wooooo! looking forward to this

as for it not being in the "real" Big Apple, last I checked NYC consisted of 5 boroughs [Queens being one of them]- so it still counts as the great ol' Big Apple in my books

I hear ya, Manhattan is probably the most "annoying" place to have a competition. It's just unbeatable in terms of the atmosphere/aura.

But it's all good in the hooood, the competition itself and the teams are what makes it the most fun!

 

[Rajbir]

judging rubric ?

 

[kinnell]

[MPElive]

Thank God it's not in Manhattan: traffic, parking rates, hotels can get costly for everyone. Finally a competition in NYC area teams can look forward to as the organizers are legit. Good luck to the BAB committee and hopefully they can make this an annual event.
