POLE EMOTION 2025 is not just a competition, but a space where every participant can truly shine at 100%.
Why did we move away from traditional awards and create a unique nomination system?
-
Freedom of choice: You decide what you want to compete for.
-
Individual approach: Awards are given for specific strengths, not simply for being "the best of all."
-
A space for experimentation: Innovative nominations pave the way for new creative solutions.
