DTU Flight Contest Rules & Guidelines

DTU’s motto, “We’re Here For You,” continues to drive our commitment to supporting teams. In partnership with Spirit Airlines, the DTU Flight Instagram Contest provides an opportunity for participants to earn funding toward their Nationals travel.

1. Eligibility & Posting Requirements:
   Entries must be posted from your team’s official public Instagram account. If your team does not have an account, a single representative (with a public account) must be designated to post on behalf of the team. Posts from private accounts will not be eligible.

2. New This Year:
   In celebration of TEN seasons of Dance Team Union, we will award unique entries with special prizes throughout the contest, ranging in value from $200 to $1,000. Examples of prizes include (but are not limited to):

   • $250 off Nationals registration

   • Free Virtual Routine registration

   • 20% off Regional Competition registration

3. Grand Prize Details:

   • One winning team will be selected.

   • Any team that has previously won a DTU Flight Contest is not eligible to win again.

   • Any team that has previously won a DTU Flight Contest is eligible to win additional prizes. 

   • The winning team will receive $250 per participant, up to 12 participants, for a maximum of $3,000.

   • Prize funds will be applied as a credit to the team’s DTU Nationals invoice in the fall when registration opens.

4. Alternate Prizes for Ineligible Teams:
   If the winning team is unable to attend DTU Nationals, they must notify DTU immediately. Instead, they will receive a 2024 or 2025 DTU Choreo Kit. If the awarded funds are relinquished more than 60 days before the event, they will be awarded to another team selected by DTU.

Even if you're unsure whether your team will attend the 2026 DTU National Championship, we still encourage you to participate in the DTU Flight Contest!
