The Universal Street Games by Toyota is the first competition of its kind in the world. Bringing the streets to the international stage, the four month competition acts as a global hunt for the world’s best street musicians, dancers and athletes. In the first voting round, closing 30 April, entrants record and upload their entry on social media while voters select their favourite performances on the Universal Street Games website or app.

After two voting rounds, nine finalists plus three voters will win a trip across the United States of America to the Universal Street Games at the X Games Minneapolis 2018. From 15 to 21 July, the finalists will have time to develop their final performance, as well as a group performance to symbolise the integration of music, dance and sport. These performances will be spotlighted at the X Games where a winner will be decided. The whole trip will be professionally filmed and uploaded daily on the Universal Street Games website during the trip.
