A CASH prize of P1 million awaits the winner of the "Indak-Indak sa Dalan" street dancing competition on Saturday, August 20, at the 37th Kadayawan Festival in Davao City.
Indak-Indak sa Dalan organizer Harold Quebete said that the competition will be held on the main streets of downtown Davao City and can be witnessed by thousands of residents and tourists.
This year's competition will have two categories: the Davao City category, with participants from Davao City, and the open category, with participants from different places in Mindanao. Quebete said the Davao City champion will pocket P1 million while the runner-up will get P500,000. The third placer will win P400,000, and the fourth and fifth placers will take home P300,000 and P200,000, respectively.
The winners in the open category will also get the same prizes.
Quebete said that participants must follow the minimum health protocol during the competition, especially wearing of masks.
"The participants were already informed of the protocol," Quebete said. Fifteen festival organizers and experts from all over the country have been hand-picked to judge the street dancing competition.
Meanwhile, on August 21, the "Pamulak sa Davao" floral float parade will take center stage. Pamela sa Davao organizer Wadab Babao said 40 participants have signed up for the floral float parade, where the best float will bring home the P800,000 prize.
