The River Man Award was founded in 1998 by the creators of the popular TV programme Parade of Dance (Nataša Jelič, Urška Žnidaršič, Barbara Drnač) in order to honour the best individuals, groups and projects in the field of dance. All types of dance activity are taken into account, including stage dance (ballet, contemporary dance), sport dance, step dance and folkloric dance. The jury decides on the award for best female dancer and best male dancer of the year, best performance, most promising 'name', best visual stage element, best lighting design and best dance project (eg dance festivals, dance therapy groups). In the category of sport dance the prizes go to the best show individual and best show group, best hip hop formation, best Latin-American performer, best standard dance performer and best rock ’n’ roll performer, as well as to the most promising dancer. The audience of Parade of Dance votes for the award in both categories: stage dance and sport dance.
