Ta-neisha Marshall & Ron Spalter

This year we will continue in person competition. We are super excited to add early registration this year....that's right the sooner you register your students the cheaper registration will be. This will help us to be more focused on providing you the best experience possible by having a closer estimate for who and what we are serving.

Registration Opens- December 1, 2022 (All registrations that occur between December 1, 2022 and January 9, 2023 will receive a discounted rate for each entry at $20.00 per entry)

Any registrations between February 6, 2023 - February 15, 2023 will register at the rate of $40 per entry.
