  1. Each participating couple must upload their entry as an MP4 file at this location by midnight on Sunday 13th December.

  3. For purposes of authentication, all entrants will begin each clip by identifying themselves (real names or otherwise), affirming that their entry is consensual on both their parts and agreeing to The Firm displaying the video on this website.
  4. Entrants may wear masks to preserve anonymity. Entries will not be shared on social media, except with express permission of those involved.
  5. Please display a lemon as proof that this is a 2020 Caning Competition entry. (You can even print off a picture of a lemon if you’re too mean to buy one.)
  6. Each video must include the top performing Six of the Best in a Five Bar Gate pattern on the bottom. (See below.) Blood must not be drawn.
  7. Each top can only enter once, although competitors can appear as both top and bottom in separate entries.
  8. In accordance with statute the judging criteria are Style, Power and Accuracy. Roleplay presentations are not required.
  9. The judges’ decision is final. Judges may be bribed, begged, seduced or blackmailed, but their decision remains final.
