Outshine Productions and Soul Incredible Unity Present:

The Northwest Sweet 16 returns in grand fashion for 2015! This is the 8th year of our epic tournament, and we will be pairing it with our first ever international crew competition, Back to the Culture. Our goal, as many of you may know, is to discover the best talent in the Northwest area, and showcase that talent in a fair/unbiased environment. This year we will feature several qualifiers for the sweet 16 bracket including Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, and Alaska.
