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

and noisy supporters. You are also welcome to bring banners to display
around the balcony.
