Shining Bright since 1993

The Solo Competition was founded in 1993 and run by the Ballarat Calisthenic College until the closure of the club in 2005.  It then became a Committee run, not for profit competition.

In 2005 we returned to the original spelling of our wonderful town by adding the “aa” to the name Ballaarat.

The Solo Competition provides a platform for Graceful and Calisthenic soloists from 8 years of age to display their talent. Our competitors come from all over Victoria, South Australia & Queensland. In 2016, saw the return of Duos to our comp.

In 2017 we celebrated 25 years of the Solo Competition at Wendouree Centre of Performing Arts, which has been the “home” of competition since 2007.
