OSA Cruise
CRUISE WITH ON STAGE AMERICA
On Stage America had such an overwhelming success with its Caribbean cruise that it will again be offering studio directors an exciting opportunity to win a five-day Caribbean cruise for two. The cruise will take place in December 2009 on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. The cruise will be awarded at each of the On Stage America regional dance competitions in the 2008-2009 season that have a minimum of 150 entries. All studio directors who meet the criteria are eligible to win.
The prize will be awarded based on a point system as follows:
- 15 points awarded for entries submitted by deadline date with full payment (minimum of $2500.00) included
- 1 point awarded for every $1000.00 in entry fees above the $2500.00 minimum
- 1 point awarded for each solo or duo/trio
- 3 points awarded for small groups
- 5 points awarded for large groups
- 7 points awarded for production numbers
- 1 point deducted for each change made the week of the competition
In case of a tie, the winner will be the studio with the highest average score for its dances.
The cruise is not transferable. If the winner at a particular regional competition is unable to participate in the cruise, the prize will be awarded to the studio with the second highest point score for that regional competition.
