The 2009 BOTY finals held in Braunschweig Germany, was a true celebration of all things hip-hop. Top b-boy crews from around the world competed for the glory of winning the 'world championship of breakdancing'.
The BOTY is much more than a contest. It's a week-long festival of hip-hop culture, featuring 1 vs 1 and We B*Girlz battles, gigs, workshops and more to ensure the event stays true to its b-boy roots - spreading hip-hop culture to a larger public audience.
The Battle Of The Year has come a long way. Who would have thought that BOTY would go from starting out back in 1990 in a local youth culture centre with 500 hard core fans to an arena packed with more than 12,000 roaring spectators and B-Boy crews from all over the world taking part.
BOTY has grown massively, more and more people can relate to the vision of evolving the spirit of breakdance and creating an international event platform that allows B-Boys and B-Girls from all different countries to express their creativity in front of an ever-growing audience
