FREESTYLE EXPRESSION – Beyond Boundaries
The most unique category, freestyle expression, welcomes acts that defy traditional classification. The focus is on pushing boundaries while still maintaining things coherent artistically. Whether through jaw-dropping acrobatics, ethereal sand sculptures, or genre-defying performances, contestants must deliver a tangible concept while delivering an attention-grabbing and emotive spectacle.

Unique or Cross-Genre Acts
This international unique talent contest is looking for artists who don’t fit into the usual boxes. It could include light painting, holographic narrative, food performance art, or anything else. What’s important is that they should be original, reflect your vision, and have technical proficiency. Act descriptions in advance of the competition must be submitted by contestants for review for safety concerns. Interdisciplinary performances (i.e., live sculpture + poetry) should display expertise in each part. The act must challenge audience expectations while still having a clear artistic intent.
Sand Art
Live sand artists are supposed to produce narrative sequences on lighted tables at the IITF’s sand art competition. Judging assesses the clarity of storytelling, fluidity of transitions, and technical accuracy. Performances may include music or voiceover, but must include continuous live creation. Special techniques (finger vs. tool work, multi-layer sand) exhibit a diversity of skills. Unique narratives are welcome. This is all about showing how something that won’t last forever, like sand art, can still tell a powerful story with the right touch. It’s all in the way they move the sand around, carefully building and then wiping away their images to tell their tale.
Gymnastics Acts
The performers should bring athleticism with creativity to the gymnastics contest 2025. Judging weighs technical skills (tumbling passes, balances) against choreographic quality. Equipment may include ribbons, hoops, or aerial silks. Scoring focuses on clean lines, controlled landings, and risk management. Dance components should blend invisibly with gymnastic elements. Costuming should provide freedom of movement without hazard. The whole acrobatic talent is about turning all that athletic awesomeness into a beautiful piece of art, with music, and using the space around them.
Experimental Performances
The out-of-the-box act is invited in this category. Evaluation criteria evolve according to each entry, but always look for conceptual intensity and audience influence. We’re looking for something that’ll tickle our brains and show us some serious artistic chops, all wrapped up in something we’ve never experienced before. Safety procedures are strictly followed for any technology or materials employed.
Time Limit
To ensure a smooth and dynamic showcase of each talent’s performance, IITF maintains strict time durations for performances as follows:
| Solo Performance | 3 minutes |
| Group Performance | 4.5 minutes |
| Group Acting | 7 minutes |
