Ahead of the UK B-Boy Championships 2011 World Finals, AllStreetDance was given special access to the shooting location for the poster campaign.
The 2011 UK B-Boy Championships posters feature B-Boy Sunni and B-Girl Roxy of Soul Mavericks, B-Boy Steady from Flawless and B-Boy Brahim (Brahim Zaibat) of Pockemon Crew, and uses a less ambitious style than the B-Boy Championships 15th Anniversary poster and was shot at the Essex marina docks.

“The concept is about taking over a space,” said DJ Hooch, founder and promoter of the UK B-Boy Championships. “B-boys can go wherever they want, take over any space, but it’s getting harder and harder, so this is the perfect urban, desolate area.”
The poster artwork campaign was shot by Gary Salter, who also produces the UK B-Boy Championships 2011 Trailer
