CALENDAR

REGISTRATION DATES: 15 January – 15 March 2026
Changes in the programa will not be allowed after the registration deadline.

Contestants in the different categories will perform in alphabetical order, following a prior draw which will determine the starting letter of the Competition. From that letter onward, the corresponding alphabetical order will be followed. This order may be modified in cases of force majeure or for professional reasons. The candidate must provide proper justification, and the Artistic Direction will consider the request and make a final decision.

The result of the performance order draw, conducted by the Competition’s Organizing Committee, will take place at 09:00 a.m. on April 16, 2026.

Participants in the Infantile A & B and Juvenile categories must arrive on April 15, 2026.
Participants in the Young Artist category must arrive from April 16, 2026 onwards.
