This challange is very straight forward. To enter you need to create and film a performance using masks.

You can perform solo or in a group.

If you are in a group then all the characters can be masked or just some of them. 

You may use dialogue if you wish and your masks are suitable for this (not full face masks).

You can use premade masks or masks that you have created for this challenge.

You can use dance and music as part of your performance

You can perform and film in any space/venue that you wish

You may not edit your video, it must be one continous shot.

These are the time limits for each age category (if you have a range of ages then use the category of the oldest student in the group) You can be under the time limit with no penalty but not over. 

5 -7 maximum 2 minutes of performance

8-10 maximum 3 minutes of performance

11-15 maximum 4 minutes of performance

15+ maximum 5 minutes of performance
