When selecting the professional/amateur category, please indicate the category you are interested in and we will indicate in our feedback if your application is successful but we recommend you to enter another category.

It would be good to arrive earlier/later than the competition timeframe. Is this possible?
Of course. The accommodation we provide is flexible and open to individual requests. Before/after 26-29 June, the Hunguest Hotel Bar Resort welcomes you with the same conditions for individual bookings.

Getting to know Hungary. What additional cultural programmes and events will complement the competition?
The HBGP is a package of experiences where contemporary photography, design, literature and music are added to the local events of the Lake Balaton region, alongside dance culture. Our thematic programmes are just a few minutes' walk from the accommodation, complementing the leisure needs of all ages with the proximity to Lake Balaton.

I have a food intolerance. Will I be able to eat comfort food?
Both the accommodation and the location are prepared for this. You can let us know your requirements via the form interface.

I registered 7 students with a common link. However, the 7 students would also compete individually and in a duo.
You will be able to indicate this to us on the professional form from 1 May.

We are also interested in workshops. Which master will give a course and when, what are the details.
The workshops will be held in parallel during the competition (26-28 June) and will be led by world-renowned masters and masters who will also sit on the jury. Details of the topics and their schedules will be available on the website soon. All courses will be held in one of ActiCity's buildings.
