In an effort to improve their image, Partyfest has moved away from the drinking games that the men traditionally hosted. Instead, they have introduced KO Rhythm, a dance competition that sees the winners compete on a national level against other university residences.
Partyfest has also offered more support to the residences in terms of funding and marketing, as well as a sponsored video and camera crew for the duration of the event.
Each event will be judged according to decor, pre-sale tickets (of which 200 tickets have to be sold), creativity, residence spirit, the KO Rhythm performance and number of people attending.
The top three residences from each season will have the chance to compete in the regional grand final for the overall title, which includes a R10 000 prize, and the KO Rhythm title, which includes a R4 000 prize and entry into the national competition.
