 HOW TO QUALIFY 
To register for National Finals, you must:
 Compete at a 2026 Carnival Regionals event
 Receive a score of 75 or above for at least one routine. You can enter an additional 4 routines per routine that qualifies.

 
HAVEN'T QUALIFIED YET? 
Is your Regional event still to come, and you haven't qualified for Nationals yet? Don't worry!
 
We will be releasing National Finals spots in stages throughout the season to ensure dancers attending later Regional events still have the opportunity to qualify and register.
 
As more Regional events take place, additional places will be released, giving everyone a fair chance to secure their spot on the Nationals stage. 

 
 WILL ONLINE SUBMISSIONS OPEN?
Online Submissions will only be considered if places remain available once all Regional qualifying rounds have concluded.
 
If there is still capacity at the end of the Regional season, we may open Online Submission entries; however, this is not guaranteed.
 
For this reason, we strongly recommend locking in a Regional event and not relying on Online Submissions as your pathway to Nationals.

 
 CAN STUDIOS RESERVE ENTRIES?
Yes! Studios can reserve National Finals entries with a 25% deposit.
 
Simply email us your list of proposed entries, and we'll organise an invoice for the deposit to secure your places.

 
 WILL THERE BE APEX WORKSHOPS THIS YEAR?
Yes, absolutely!
 
The APEX Intensive will be returning to National Finals in 2027, featuring an incredible lineup of industry-leading choreographers.
 
By purchasing a Diamond Competitor Pass, you'll receive access to all days of APEX workshops throughout the event.
 
Individual APEX workshop tickets will also be available for purchase at a later date.
 
 The 2027 APEX faculty lineup will be announced very soon — stay tuned!
