Similar events, which may be locally inspired by debutante balls, take place in many other parts of the world. In Canada, the terms "formal" and "Grad" are often used, while in Australia and New Zealand, the terms school formal and ball are most commonly used for occasions equivalent to the American prom, and the event is usually held for students in Year 12, although the bestowing of the regal titles does not occur. Many schools hold a formal graduation ball for finishing students at the end of the year in place of or as well as a formal. In Ireland a "debutante ball" or debs may also be held. In Poland, high schools organize a "studniówka". The term "prom" is becoming more common in the United Kingdom and Canada because of the influence of American films and television shows, such as "Grease".
