To celebrate the release of Stomp The Yard: Homecoming on Blu-ray™ + DVD Combo Pack and DVD September 21, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) and Black Entertainment Television (BET) have joined forces to host a national step contest to find America’s best steppers.
The Stomp The Yard: Homecoming contest launches August 16 on www.BET.com/StompTheYard and invites participants to upload a two-minute video segment of their team (a maximum of eight people) performing a step routine. The producers of BET’s “106&Park” will select two teams to fly to New York and perform their routine live on BET during “Wild Out Wednesday” on September 22. During the live broadcast, BET viewers will be encouraged to vote for their favorite group via text or online. The winning group will be announced at the end of the program on the live broadcast and will receive an AMEX gift card, valued at $5,000.
Producer Will Packer stated, “This contest will give the best step teams in the country the opportunity to highlight their precision, unity and flavor. BET is the perfect partner because 106 & Park is all about showcasing artist with unique talents and abilities. I’m hoping we’ll see some teams on par with the talent in Stomp The Yard: Homecoming.”
