Video auditions for KBI 2026 are accepted until March 8th, 2026.

Video footage of performances and/or variations will not be accepted. Your audition should be no more than 10 minutes in length. Once registered, will be asked to submit your video, headshot, and first arabesque photo by filling out a Google Form. The link to this form along with these video audition guidelines will be in your confirmation email after registering.

Please review the video audition submission guidelines before registering:

All videos must be uploaded to a streaming service such as YouTube or Vimeo prior to submitting the online application. You will be required to provide a link/url to your final video in the application. Additionally, please do not provide links that require an invitation to a specific email address to view (such as in the “private” setting for YouTube uploads).

For privacy, YouTube users should choose the “unlisted” setting (instead of the default “public” setting) when you upload your video. An “unlisted” video will not be publicly viewable in your YouTube channel and cannot be found through a YouTube search. Only those with the direct link can access it. Vimeo users should set their video setting to “Private” so that only people with the link can access it.
