Create an accountWhat you’ll need
Five elements
for every application.
We don’t assess only the track, but also how you tell it. The process sheet does not measure “how much” you intervened, but the awareness with which you did it.
The lyrics
The lyrics of the track, where present, with any language notes.
The process sheet
The account of how it came to be: idea, AI tools, human role, choices and discards. It is an integral part of the work.
The transparency declaration
An honest statement on the tools used and the authorial contribution, in line with the Charter.
The staging proposal
How you intend to present the track live at the Auditorium: in a theatre it is not just listening, you need something to accompany it.
The staging
In a theatre it is
not just listening.
Every finalist proposes how they will present the track live at the Auditorium. You need an element to complement the song: from a simple projected video to something more elaborate. The modes can be combined.
Projected video
Visual content accompanying the track on the Auditorium screen: from the simplest to the most refined.
Choreography
A stage presence of dance or movement, designed for the space of the stage.
Live performance
Singing or playing live, even miming the performance of the generated track.
Other
Any other form of staging, to be specified in the application.
In the application you will indicate the chosen mode (even more than one) with a short description of how you imagine the moment on stage.

Eligibility
The rules, in brief.
- Tracks born from a single prompt are as welcome as those from fifty iterations: what counts is the truth of the account.
- Tracks that deceptively imitate living artists or unauthorised recognisable voices are not admitted.
- Works protected by copyright and used without the consent of the rights holders are not admitted.
- Filling in the process sheet truthfully is a condition for admission.
The rules derive from the Festival Charter. The full official rules will be published when the call opens.
