Please take note of the following changes and arrangements for A-Arts 2024.
A-Arts Festival is our qualifying local festival and is open to all provinces in South Africa. Participants can now take part in any A-Arts Festival in certain provinces. Due to popular demand our Gala evening(s) after each festival will return where trophies and special prizes will be handed out.
Last year we divided the A-Arts festival in a festival and competition division. After careful consideration and feedback from studio(s) we decided to keep it as a festival where all participants will receive a medal
and printed certificates. Only the first 6 category winners will be ranked in a section and we end off the festival with our Gala evening as mentioned above.
Dancers receiving 80% and above can take part in our Rising to Fame Grand Finale in 2025. Due to the general economic uncertainties of our country, the Rising to Fame Grand Finale has been canceled in KZN and will be hosted in Gauteng at Living Word Auditorium from April 2025.
Trophies, money prizes and bursaries will be handed out to the category winners.
Participants in remote areas are welcome to take part in our online festival. The online festival is also a second opportunity to qualify for the Rising to Fame Grand Finale 2025, where a video can be submitted for qualification.
