ENTRY DETAILS
We encourage you to register here for your nominated qualifying round as soon as possible. Although it may be possible to enter on the evening of a Salon qualifying round, for organisational reasons pre-registration is preferred.

An entry fee of $50 per person is charged to participate in either the Salón or Stage category. Salón contestants pay this fee before or on the evening they participate in the first qualifying round. They will also need to pay the usual milonga fee at each of the milongas they attend. As this is a not-for-profit event, the qualifying round entry fee will go towards the cost of organising the Semi-finals and Final event.

For Stage contestants, the $50 fee is payable on registration and provision of the selected music.

In both categories this fee also provides the contestant with free entrance to the Semi-final and Final event in the City Recital Hall Angel Place in Sydney.

 STAGE TANGO
There are NO qualifying rounds for this category. All Stage contestants automatically go into the Semi-finals. All stage contestants are requested to register their interest in entering the competition via email to info@tangochampionship.com.au

You may obtain a copy of the Stage tango criteria from this website under
Stage Tango.

Each Stage contestant is required to provide their
- name,
- email address,
- contact phone number,
- home address,
- name of tango music, composer / orchestra.

They will also need to provide the Organising Committee their selected music on a CD. This must be sent to the address below by Friday 4 April 2008:

Sandy Grant
Australian Tango Championship Ltd
C/o Argentine Consulate
Level 20, 44 Market Street Sydney NSW 2000
