Fashion theatre belongs to Category D but follows the rules for stage performances. Exhibition works are assessed in an exhibition format; arrangements for displaying three-dimensional and screen-based works must be agreed in advance.

Age groups and contest programme

Age groups

9 years and under; 10–12; 13–15; 16–19; 20–25; 26 and over; mixed age. For duets, trios and quartets, the age group is determined by the oldest participant; for groups of 5 or more, by the average age. Ages are calculated on the contest date.

Duration of stage performances

One performance is included in the basic contest entry. Additional performances must be registered separately and are evaluated independently.

Any different duration must be agreed before the programme is approved. Fashion theatre performances are limited to 5 minutes. Extended choir or orchestral programmes require separate confirmation.

Backing tracks and stage arrangements

MP3 backing tracks must be emailed to info@fiestalonia.net when confirming the programme. Participants must bring a backup copy on a USB drive. In vocal categories, recordings that replace the main live voice are not permitted.

The application must state the entry format, duration, composers or authors, props and required connections. A piano and basic microphones for sound reinforcement are provided. Other instruments and equipment require separate confirmation.

Dance flooring, stage dimensions, prop setup time, chairs and music stands must be agreed with the organisers before travel. Stage and sound checks follow the contest-day timetable.

Fire acts, performances with animals and aerial acts are not accepted. Acrobatic elements and special props are permitted only by prior agreement with the venue.

Visual arts

The basic entry comprises up to two finished works, each no larger than A3; themes and techniques are unrestricted. Additional works and non-standard sizes require separate agreement. Labels must show the artist’s name in Latin letters, age, country, title and technique. Participants bring their own materials and packaging.

Participants are responsible for the authorship of their works and the accuracy of the information submitted. Delivery, installation and collection dates will be stated in the final programme.

The international jury comprises specialists in the disciplines represented. Entries are evaluated on a 100-point scale; the final score is the average of the relevant jury members’ scores. Awards are allocated within each discipline, age group and entry format.

The jury may withhold individual awards, share awards between participants and give special prizes to teachers. Performances exceeding an unapproved time limit may be stopped. Jury decisions are final.

Awards

Grand Prix: a major trophy and diploma; First Degree: a trophy and diploma; Second and Third Degree: diplomas. Each award is issued once per registered entry: soloist, duet, trio, quartet or group. The official diploma records the contest result.
