Thank you for being patient with us, the process took a little longer than expected because so many entries were on the border of being invited to the heats! 

We have 12 Virtual heats taking place from the 13th July through to the 27th July – you can find out all the times and details here. You can watch live from all over the globe here on our YouTube Channel.

We’re pleased to reveal, those invited through to Stage Award supported by NextUp Virtual Heats are:
