To be eligible, competitors must enter a minimum of four categories.
Competitors entering all five categories will have their four highest scores counted towards the Grand Prix ranking.
This allows artists to demonstrate excellence across multiple disciplines while ensuring that one lower-scoring category does not disadvantage an otherwise outstanding competitor.
