	Also known as the Virtual Background Battles (VBB), the Bal Masqué is a recurring hybrid event created by IMPAKT where guests join a collective dance party on Zoom. Guests are invited to compete in a battle for the best costume, which can be created through a combination of digital face masks (think Snapchat/Instagram filters) and virtual backgrounds. Everyone can either use the virtual background and mask options native to Zoom, or by creating their own masks and layers using Snachat’s Snap Camera filter-making software. Special guests were pitted against one another to show their virtual mask dancing skills and the chance to win prizes. The guests live-voted for winners. A master of ceremony doles out awards for Best Self-made Mask and Best Dance Performance. After the initial battles, the ballroom was open to the public, and everyone got to dance to our DJ’s curated danceable selection of obscure up-beat masterpieces, forgotten classics, exotic finds and the occasional guilty pleasure.

			IMPAKT also commissioned special digital masks to be made by a designer that were available for guests to download and use for the event. There were also specific masks that were worn by the MC and the Zoom moderator during the event that identified them as part of the IMPAKT team.
