Registration fees
The Encounters is not a festival that commissions art work or provides budgets to artists; it is a non-profit meeting place to share work and ideas as a crowd-sourced community, fuelled to a large extent by the agency of this community, and would not be possible without the invaluable and voluntary efforts of many people locally and around the world. As organizers we are aware of the difficult situation affecting many artists around the world and we try to take this into account as much as possible, in order to offer equal chances for everyone to take part.
For unemployed, including artists, and cultural workers with no other means of income (on written declaration of honor), for EETF/UOWM (Department of Fine and Applied Arts/University of Western of Macedonia) graduates and students there is no fee (proof required).
The conference registration includes:
The attendees/participants will receive:
- a Certificate of Attendance from the University of Western Macedonia.
- access to all official conference sessions
- conference tote bag with program booklet and digital conference proceedings
- buffet, coffee breaks, and snacks
- refreshments during coffee breaks, buffet lunch during lunch breaks of the conference sessions
