Battle of the Year, commonly referred to as BOTY, is an annual international b-boying series that began in 1990.
Regional qualifying tournaments, also known as preliminaries, are held worldwide culminating in the BOTY International, the world finals event which was held at the Volkswagenhalle in Braunschweig, Germany until 2009.
Battle of the Year is widely regarded as the premier b-boying tournament in the world, frequently referred to as the " World Cup of B-Boying ".
Battle of the year creates " spaces for a globalization at the bottom, bringing people together across the barriers of geography, language, and race ".
Benson Lee filmed a documentary on the Battle of the Year called Planet B-Boy which gives a point of view on what type of people take part in the Battle of the Year.
The BOTY finals in 2000 held in Hannover, Germany had the largest audience, with 10000 people watching the finals.
In 2001, " A change of direction " was added to the BOTY logo as decisions were made to change the format due to the increased popularity and to make it more manageable.
