(DanzaTTack does not charge a registration fee).
Process:
- In a first selection, each work will be classified as Under Consideration or Disqualified depending on whether or not it complies with the regulations.
- In a second phase, the works that are considered by the jury will be classified as Undecided. This means that the work has been shortlisted (the platform does not have this option).
- Once the jury has finished voting and the organisation has checked that everything is correct, the works will be classified as ‘Selected’ or ‘Not selected’. At that point, the original DanzaTTack2025 Official Selection laurel will be sent. No laurel other than the original one provided by us will be validated.
- The week before the festival starts the results of the scores will be published on www.danzattack.com.
The status of all works that have reached this point will remain as Selected, except for the winners of the competition and the one selected for co-production, which will change to awarded. There may also be a Special Mention.
A high definition copy of the work will be requested if it is selected.
