Videos must be recorded in landscape mode and must be of the highest quality possible (at least 720p).
It is important that the entire team is framed from head to toe during the entire performance.
Videos must be unedited, recorded in a single continuous take, using only one camera.
Make sure to position videographer in a spot where, even if the team spreads out, you can keep ALL skaters visible in the video frame at all times.
The video must be as stable as possible with minimal “jittering” of the camera.
For best viewing enjoyment, video should be recorded from a position that closely resembles the view from the audience, as if at an in-person exhibition. However, the videographer may film slightly off-center to ensure a wider angle that keeps all skaters visible at all times.
Skaters should wear their competition attire.
The video must begin with a virtual placard. The placard must include the team name, their normal event level, club represented and date. Be sure the placard is close enough to the camera to be read. The placard must be followed by the date and time of the recording as shown on a mobile phone.
Ensure the music is loud enough for the viewing audience to hear clearly during video playback. We suggest to turn up the music loud. To avoid drowning out the music, it's recommended to keep applause and cheering to a minimum.
Videos from a competition, exhibition, or ice show may NOT be submitted.
Upon team registration, each team will receive an e-mailed registration confirmation with a link to edit their registration. You may use the edit link to review your registration and upload your video after video is recorded between February 15-21, 2026.
