Any shows who would like to run qualifiers for NIF 2026 can now use the application form on the NIF website. Simply complete the details and press send. Your show will then be added to the list of qualifying shows displayed.
In order to verify entries for the NIF finals, the qualifying show must email the show results within 7 days of it taking place. If we do not receive the results, the show will not be classed as a qualifier. The status of each qualifying show will be displayed as either ‘awaiting results’ or ‘results verified’ or ‘results not received.’
No shows other than those listed on the ‘qualifiers’ page of our website will be regarded as a qualifier.
The first four in each qualifying class will qualify for entry to the final. Competitors must enter the final within seven days of qualifying.
