Practical questions
Before you commission.
Can you help only with the contest rules?
Yes. Consulting can focus on a single stage or cover the complete programme.
Can the project accept international submissions?
Yes. Language, rights, jury, communication and file-handling systems should be designed for international participation from the beginning.
Do you curate sensitive themes?
Yes. Human rights, conflict and social issues require a clear ethical framework, careful context and responsible participant communication.
