Hot Spot Modern Jive Venue Challenge

The Category for Jive Venues Nationwide - Entry FREE

“Sponsored by BritRock this category is highly acclaimed.  Not only do the winners get free entry to the BritRock Ball 2010, a Saturday Day pass and one Competition entry each for the winning couple, our Hot Spot winners get the Hot Modern Jive Venue Challenge shield for your venue to keep for one year.

If you would like to promote your local venue and give it some well earned recognition on a national level, why not represent your home venue in the Hot Spot Challenge?  This is a short and sweet freestyle competition incorporated into the BritRock competition.  One entry per venue and of course you can boost your venue entry by bringing flyers and noisy supporters. You are also welcome to bring banners to display around the balcony.
