Architecture, ballet, contemporary dance, circus, design and applied arts, digital arts, film, folklore and folk arts, heritage, interdisciplinary work, literature, music, opera, street art, theatre, photography and video, puppetry, sculpture and painting.
Selection criteria
An EFFEA Jury assesses relevance for artists, festivals and audiences, impact on the artists' careers, longer-term market opportunities for artists, and a budget based on fair remuneration of artists. Diversity, sustainability, digital tools and inclusion are considered in assessing quality.
