This year there will be both an online world spintop contest and an in-person world contest in Japan.  
They are organized by ITSA and will take place independently from the world yoyo contest.

The online contest will seed for the finals in Tokyo. There will also likely be help available for the best placing players to attend the contest in Tokyo (travel grants).  
The deadline to submit videos is July 30th.
