Young Artists Showcase & Quest for Creativity
Grassroots to Champions is proud to produce annually two choreography competitions, YAS and Q4C, to promote creativity in the sport and provide opportunity to emerging young choreographers of all ages.
- Q4C is an annual, one-time creative opportunity for all choreographers to gain exposure and develop their craft.
- YAS is an elite, intensive 5-week competition once a year for emerging choreographers under age 30.
Quest for Creativity (Q4C)
Quest for Creativity serves as a gateway for talented young artists to prepare themselves to participate in YAS by creating an original, out-of-the-box short skating program with no restrictions.
Winners of Q4C in each category receive $300.
