Festival Studentesco
South Tyrol's largest youth event, organized by the volunteers of the Artist Club association.
How the Festival Studentesco works
At the start of every school year, in September, Artist Club presents the updated rulebook for the current edition of the Festival Studentesco. The official rulebook details how to take part, the competition categories, the evaluation criteria and all the other useful information.
Each school can enter one or more categories by registering its students. Enrolments, collected by the Festival representatives within each school, close in spring. The competitions take place over roughly one month, between March and April every year. Each category has its own ranking: the points earned by the schools add up to form the overall leaderboard. Only one school will win the Festival Studentesco trophy!
The Festival is made up of more than 25 categories, offering a wide range of opportunities to express yourself and contribute to your school's participation: from visual arts such as painting, photography and drawing, to music, dance, theatre, sports games, general knowledge quizzes, e-games and much more. Some categories are for individuals, others for groups.
