Musical Chairs – Circling Carousel (OTA)
Sometimes presenting as your true self in our society is the biggest act of shapeshifting you can do. For this round of musical chairs come as you are. For each round the commentator draws one element of vogue out of their hat and you got to perform it until the music stops. Whoever doesn’t manage to snatch a chair is out.
Shake Dat Ass – Biting Booty (OTA)
Show us how you can roll your body and shake your booty like a dangerous rattlesnake as you bring your most viperous, venomous, and curvaceous moves. Bring it with a snake print.

Merfolk are the most irresistible shapeshifters : they always get what and who they want. Like merfolk, mesmerize the judges with your captivating charm, wearing shiny scales and casting your very own powerful spells.
Make Up – Cocky Peacock (OTA)
Peacocks are the OGs of a quick transformation in the bird kingdom, always ready to woo the world with their magnificent tail. Get inspired by their height, grace, iridescence and shimmer, and show off with feathers!
