Hip hop championship announces changes

ISTANBUL

A key event in hip hop culture, the Red Bull BC One, has entered its 13th year with big changes. In order to open up the event year-round to a wider community, there will be Red Bull BC One camps all over the world instead of six regional finals. 

On Dec. 3 this year, the Red Bull BC One world final will be held in Nagoya, a bustling hub for hip hop. Sixteen of the best B-boys on the planet will go head-to-head in knockout battles to determine who will be the one. In Turkey the event will take place on March 26 and 27 and the winner will have a chance to be in the world final in Nagoya.

The camps will be held in countries including Austria, France, Italy, Japan and Ukraine as well as some new countries to be announced later. These three-day events will include jams, workshops, open battles, talks, exhibitions, theatre shows and more, celebrating hip hop, dance and culture. Each will focus on sharing knowledge, making connections and having fun.
