These competitors are those who may have already worked professionally in the circus performing arts industry or who are actively working towards obtaining professional work. We may request a video or other proof from your school that you are in the correct category. Space in our Emerging Pro competition category is limited. By invitation, Emerging Pro competitors will have the opportunity to showcase their act during our Pro Show by Circus33 Saturday night at 8:00 pm.
