Young Albertans are getting the opportunity to showcase dance skills online for a public vote.
Anyone between the age of 17 and 25 is eligible for the Young and Free Alberta Servus Credit Union contest, open to both professionals and those who only dance in their living room.
Individuals or groups can post their dance video — of any style — online where the public votes on a winner.
"Reality dance shows and challenges are absolutely exploding in pop culture right now — why not (give) 17 to 25-year-olds living in Alberta the chance to get creative, show off their dance moves and win some (cash)," said Young & Free Alberta spokeswoman Sacha Kolotyluk.
The top prize is $4,000 cash, with second and third place winners each receiving $500.
The competition was chosen to run online for a variety of reasons, said Kolotyluk, one being that the Generation Y demographic is well-versed in all forms of technology.
"Every applicant has an equal chance to be declared a winner," said Kolotyluk.
Dance videos must be between one and three minutes long and can be uploaded until Feb. 7.
The public can vote from Feb. 10 to 21 and a winner will be announced late February.
