Specialty Overall Awards

ALLSTARS
The top 10 soloists from each division will be awarded AllStar status.

Viewers’ Choice (In-Person Events Only)
At OTF, we like to get everyone involved, so we created the Viewers’ Choice Award. Viewers vote for their favourite piece and the winner will be chosen by the highest number of votes.

Judges’ Choice
Adjudicators will choose one routine that caught their eye during the competition and award them for each of the following categories: outstanding costume, outstanding choreography, highest mark competitive, highest mark pre-competitive, highest mark novice, highest overall competitive production, outstanding choreography, most potential dancer, and most creative concept.

Team Spirit Award (In-Person Events Only)
OTF is all about team spirit. We want to make sure that everyone has a positive and inspiring experience. We believe it is important as a team to work together and support one another while also being respectful to other studios, so the entire OTF staff will choose a studio that shows amazing team spirit throughout the competition.

Ultimate Dancer On The Floor/Director’s Choice
Each judge and OTF Director will award an Ultimate Dancer On The Floor. This dancer will receive the opportunity to perform in On The Floor’s A Night for SickKids Gala.

Ultimate On The Floor Award
This ultimate award will be presented to one studio during each in-person competition weekend. Winners showcase versatility in all dance styles and are extremely hard working. They also consistently support one another and are respectful towards others in all aspects. The winning studio will receive an OTF Gift Card.

* Overalls are only awarded if there are three or more performances registered in the division
* OTF reserves the right to make any necessary changes
* Gift Card – value of gift card for the Ultimate On The Floor Award will be determined based on the number of entries in the competition

Trophies

Donation Station
This year, we will be giving dancers, teachers, and directors the option to drop off their trophies, medals, and ribbons won from the competition at our Donation Station. At the end of the competition season, we will donate the total value of all of these trophies, medals, and ribbons to SickKids Childlife Department.

Ultimate Battle

By consensus of the judges, the favourite number from each studio will be chosen to perform for our judges at the end of the competition. There will be a battle for 12 and under and 13 and over. These numbers will be chosen based on what the judges remember as memorable pieces and ones that stand out. A number of criteria will also be kept in mind while choosing these pieces from highest marks, choreography, execution, technique, and overall concept.

To be eligible a studio must have entered at least 20 entries into the competition and 7 or more must be group routines. Each routine in The Ultimate Battle must be either a small group, large group, line, or extended line.

On The Floor reserves the right to make adjustments if necessary. For example, if a weekend only has less than 10 studios participating two or more routines per studio might be chosen or OTF may choose a number from a studio who entered less than 20 numbers to fill up the spots in The Ultimate Battle.

The battle excludes all pre-competitive, novice, professional, solo, duet, and trio categories and divisions.

• If there are 4 dances in the battle, the top 2 will be awarded an OTF Gift Card and award
• If there are 5 or more dances in the battle, the top 3 will be awarded an OTF Gift Card and award
