The official promotion for WJF 10 has begun! The contract is finalized – December 26th, 2014 – January 2nd, 2015 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas – back where it all started a decade ago.

WJF 10 will also be the first juggling event in history to give out a first place cash prize over $7,000.00. We’re hell bent on getting that first place prize up to $10,000.00 because it’s WJF 10 and we like continuity with our numbers, so if any of you would like to help donate to that cause, we’re only $3,000.00 away from reaching it. If you’d like to donate, please send your donation in the form of a check to:
World Juggling Federation
7511 Greenwood Ave N #315
Seattle, WA 98103
Make checks out to “World Juggling Federation” and thanks!
