The Director's Prize Competition is a curated contest centered around a specific theme or set of problems.

This year's edition is titled 𝙇/𝙓 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣•𝙩𝙚𝙧•𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩[𝙨]: 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙭𝙞𝙖𝙡 & 𝙇𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨. Based on the challenge of counterpointing axial (stationary) and locomotor (translocating) movements, each choreography must feature an ensemble of dancers, with some assigned to dance in place (non-locomotor) and others to move around (locomotor).

Choreographers are free to choose their own theme for the choreography.
