Ultimately, the goal is for the Application Panel to understand your vibe, flow, and execution. It doesn’t have to be filmed in one continuous take, but the choreography and pole combos should be clear and flow with your style. Avoid heavy edits that obscure your movement or overall flow. The setting doesn’t need to be a stage—studios, practice spaces, or even prior performance/showcase videos are acceptable.

Bonus points if you include music or costume that allude to your concept or the general vibe of the show. Remember this is your opportunity to show off what you could bring to the show!

Yes! Our Application Panel will provide detailed, comprehensive, constructive feedback regardless of whether you have gained admittance as a competitor or not.

Your submission concept should represent the core of what you plan to perform. Though it does not have to be your final concept, if significant changes are needed, please communicate with us so we can discuss feasibility.

Yes, selected competitors will need to sign waivers to participate, covering liability and permissions for photos and videos.

This year, we call upon competitors to embody the fury and defiance of those wronged, accused, and condemned in Salem. From the ashes of history, vengeance rises as a force of reclamation. In this dark realm, fear once silenced the innocent — now, it fuels creation.
​
We invite you to channel this rage, crafting performances that honor the wronged and give voice to the silenced through revenge. Draw from history, myth, or social struggle to weave narratives of vengeance, fury, and betrayal.
 
Examples: Carrie, The Count of Monte Cristo, Frankenstein, Kill Bill, the entirety of 2024 - we can go on and on.
​
You can also be a sexy witch, if you choose.... but make it violent. Make it angry. Make it memorable. Make it vengeance.
​
1692 is a ritual of empowerment — a collective reckoning of the forsaken and forgotten.

1692: A RITUAL OF VENGEANCE.

We welcome all styles of pole dance, but interaction with the pole is required for this competition. Submission videos are flexible, however, no nudity is allowed. 

Not at all! We welcome performers of all experience levels. Passion, creativity, and a connection to the show’s theme are more important than your resume.

All applications will be made through our website on the Application page, once applications open.

Our stage is surrounded by the audience, so every angle is a performance opportunity. The stage will have a single, 45mm, 12' tall ceiling-mounted pole that can be set to spin or static.
 
Think about how your movements and stage presence will engage viewers on all sides, and incorporate dynamic elements that take advantage of this setup.

More information on the stage will be provided upon admittance to the show. Patience, demons.

Remember, the competition starts with your application. Good luck, Sinner.
 
A word of warning: We operate by a code of conduct. Respect it and simply don't be an asshole. Hex us, and we'll know. And trust us, everything comes back threefold.

Play fair and with respect, or don’t play at all.

Yours in sin xo
