IJA STAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS

previous championships

The Stage Championships is the IJA's formal competition that offers medals and prize money for juggling performances on stage in front of a large audience. There are three categories: Individuals (individual competitors), Teams (two or more people per team) and Juniors (individuals 17 years old or younger).

Entering the IJA Stage Championships

To enter the Stage Championships, fill out and mail the Championships Registration and Payment Forms along with the $25 entry fee and six (6) DVDs of your competition act. All such submissions must be postmarked by June 7 and received by June 11. Each competition act video is to be recorded on a DVD+R or DVD-R in NTSC video format, with 6 copies submitted. We do not accept data DVDs. Every disc must be clearly labeled with the competitor/team's name and the competition (Individuals, Teams or Juniors). The video must be an unedited single camera shot. Zooming in and out is permitted. The Championships Director will contact the competitor via email upon receiving a Championships entry.

The $25 Championships entry fee must be received by June 11 and may be made by check or credit card using page two of Championships Registration and Payment Forms or by using the IJA Store to buy the Stage Championships Entry Fee (no Payment Form is required when paying through the IJA Store). The entry fee is $25 per event. For the Teams competition, the entry fee is $25 per team (not per person), and only one Registration Form is needed per team.

All Championships competitors are responsible for complying with the IJA Stage Championships Rules and the Competitions Music Policy. See the information and links below.

Please note: The ceiling height of the Championships stage in Sparks is 19 feet.
