Good preparation makes all the difference. Take a moment to read through the practical guide and objectives beforehand.

Who can apply?

• The festival is open to all genres: cabaret, puppetry, musical theatre, storytelling and more.
• Most of the cast must consist of non‑professional performers; fully professional productions are not eligible.
• Your production must be scheduled after 15 May 2026.
• You must be able to remount the production with the original cast at the Landjuweelfestival in the summer of 2027.
• Your request for a selection visit must be submitted no later than four weeks before the start of your performance period; for later requests, we cannot guarantee that a selector will be available.
• You provide a solid video recording of your production.

How does a selection visit work?

• One or more selectors attend your performance; a post‑show conversation is not standard, but the selector may request one.
• Afterwards, you will be informed whether the selectors have nominated your company or not. The decision is briefly motivated.
• You will no longer receive an extensive written feedback report, but you can still request free artistic advice.
• In May 2027, a selection jury will choose from all performances by the nominees. This results in the shortlist of productions that will be presented at the next Landjuweelfestival.
