TO REGISTER
Click Check Availability. Figure Artworks begin at 1:00 pm and Fancy Skating at 3:00 pm on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Click either time for pricing options (per Figure Artwork or All Inclusive which includes competition and black ice practice time). Entry fees may be covered in multiple ways: either by direct payment and/or through donations being made by family members, friends, associates and fans in honor of a skater (or paid in a combination of ways if a balance is due). The World Figure Sport Society, not-for-profit, earmarks donations made in honor of a skater to be specifically used to cover their entry fees. Teamwork makes the dream work.

In the 2026 International Open for Adults every Figure Artwork starts on the right foot.
Note: 6 tracings on all Figure Artworks
Circle 8 – Start on RFO
Quadruple Figure Artwork – also nicknamed Quad Cupcake – Start on RFO
Note: If an International Open Skating Artists finds this Figure Artwork challenging, one may persevere by skating it on two feet or using the free leg for assistance when needed. This allows the Skating Artist the opportunity to continually improve in a supportive environment and to be granted an overall ranking by completing all 4 segments of the International Open. The judges are sequestered and do not see the skaters performing their Figure Artworks.
Pivoting Malteses Cross – Start on RFI for 3 tracings and restart of the LFI for 3 tracings to complete the artwork that is comprised of forward inside and backward inside pivots with two-footed forward inside Rocker beaks and backward inside Counter beaks.
A Fancy Skating performance is set to music.
Skating Artists may choose to enter additional Festival Open Artwork Events that are not combined in the overall results (see Festival Open page for details).
