Active participants will do a 30 minute presentation about a topic related to their artistic work or research interest. The presentation should be related to one of the four topics as outlined above (note: the last day is a free-for-all regarding themes).

Selected active participants will receive financial support for travel and accommodation in addition to a compensation of 2500 dkk (45 000 isk) for their presentation. RASK will send up to 5 participants to the festival. Selected participants are expected to attend the full program of the festival on November 9-13.

Whether presenting or not, the conference will be a forum where artists within the area can meet and build inter-nordic networks as well as gain new inspiration and knowledge. For this reason it is also possible to participate in the conference as a passive participant.
