Another Frisk has come to an end and we couldn't be prouder of the incredible women and men who took to the Northcote Theatre stage. Once again, the crowd was out of this world loud. There wasn't a dry seat in the house. Every performer brought their absolute A-game. A massive thank you to all of the people who make Frisk possible. You know who you are! And to our audience, this just doesn't happen without you. Thank you for supporting live events in Melbourne. We can't wait to have you back in 2026!!!!

ELIGIBILITY

FRISK is an Australian Social Competition.

• Pole Dancers of any gender 18+ years of age, from Australia or New Zealand.
• You can perform in Frisk as a Solo, Double, or Trio act. Think of all the Frisky fun you can have?!?!
• Trios - Please note, for safety only two people can be performing aerial tricks on the pole at one time
• No separate division for doubles or trios. You are all judged together in the category of amateur or open
• If someone in your group is a semi-pro or professional competitor you must enter the open division
• You can still choose to perform solo and have up to 2 human props. This is different from performing in a group. 
• AMATEUR Division. If you have won a Major Amateur Competition or competed in a National Semi-Pro or Professional competition, you are not eligible to compete in our Amateur Division and must enter our Open Division. (Major comps are; Miss Pole/Mr Pole, Pole Championships, Pole Icon, Hardcore). If you have competed in a Miss Pole Dance state heat and never placed or competed in MPDA, you MAY still be eligible for the amateur division. Please contact us directly to discuss.
• OPEN Division for semi-pro & professional competitors 
• The organisers reserve the right to decide which division you will compete in according to your entry and competition history. This would be in consultation with you before announcing our finalists.

If you need further clarification about which division you are eligible to enter, please email us with the competitions you have competed and/or placed in comps@poledivas.com.au.

MUSIC & PROPS

• Show length for AMATEUR DIVISION is 3 minutes and OPEN DIVISION is 3.5 minutes
• Any item(s) that are not attached to the performer for the entirety of the performance is considered a prop and must be included in your Production Form.  Any props larger than a chair will require approval. All props must be able to be put on and taken off the stage by 2 people within 30 seconds.
• Maximum of 2 human props only. There is no limit on how long the human props are on stage. They can touch the pole, but not perform any movements where they have both feet off the ground while holding the pole. Eg: climb, mount, trick. The focus of using a human prop is that they add to your show without overshadowing you. 
• No nudity
• Anything you wish to use that will leave a mess on the stage must be approved by the producers.  Eg: confetti, petals, fake money.  No large confetti canons will be approved, or glitter.
• You are welcome to email us at comps@poledivas.com.au if you would like approval on a prop or other idea prior to creating your show and submitting your entry video
• Music by the following artists cannot be used at Frisk or any Pole & Aerial Divas competitions as they have been convicted or accused of gender-based violence; Chris Brown, Diddy, R Kelly, Tory Lanez, Marilyn Manson
