About this Event
We recognize and respect that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem-speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. We recognize and honour the Indigenous Peoples—past, present, and future—who have cared for these lands and waters since time immemorial, and we commit to listening, learning, and acting with respect as we gather here.
**************************
Don’t miss this year’s event—two full days of special performances, high-energy battles, and a program packed with highlights from start to finish. We have over $4,000 in cash prizes. And be sure to secure your spot in our Judges’ Workshops on June 14—spaces are limited.
Full details are below. Early-bird pricing is available for a limited time to keep costs down—register early and take advantage while it lasts!
