The choreography contest for the 2025 ShimmyMob is now open. Please be sure to read and understand the following instructions before you start creating your choreography. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us; we're here to help.
Choose a fun, catchy and upbeat song (it can be a drum solo).
The music must be available for purchase (i.e., it must be downloadable via Amazon, iTunes or similar site).
The music must comply with all copyright laws. Any edits made to the original music will invalidate your entry.

Submit your entry via email. Include a link to the video file(s) (do not upload publicly to sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
There are no restrictions on the number of entries you submit, provided that you adhere to the process detailed in the How to Enter section.
Please provide the following:
For added clarity, videos must be taped from two points of views: front and back. Only one version is necessary if the video is shot from behind in a mirrored studio, and the moves are clearly seen in full from both front and back.
All videos must be landscape; the picture and sound must be clear and of good quality (1920x1024, or better). Ensure that your entire body (legs and feet, arms and hands) is visible within the frame at all times.
Each of the following criteria is assigned a specific weight (e.g., "1" for "poor", through to "5" for "excellent"). The final score is the sum of the various weights as decided by each judge. The submission with the highest score across the board wins the contest.
Submissions must be emailed to: shimmymob(at)gmail.com
Incomplete entries will not be considered.
The winner(s) will receive full acknowledgment on the ShimmyMob website for one full year and will have free registration for 2025 ShimmyMob worldwide event.
