    Within the framework of all festivals-competitions of the Salute of Talents project, out-of-competition participation of teams and soloists is allowed. All the same rules and requirements apply to participants who perform out of competition, as to other participants. Out-of-competition performances are also reviewed and evaluated by the jury without scoring and subsequent assignment of places. Teachers have the opportunity to discuss the performances of their pupils with the jury members as part of a round table. Participants who performed outside the competition receive a Diploma of the Festival Participant, as well as a commemorative Cup. Out-of-competition participation is admissible in one nomination.

    December is the traditional time for parent-teacher meetings, where you discuss plans for the next six months. Of course, among these discussions there is a place for questions about traveling to festivals. Knowing that many parents worry organizational issues trips, we have prepared several useful tips that we propose to use.

    One of the most important questions that parents ask about participating in festivals is whether you are sure that the organizer is reliable, and the festival will take place at a high level?

    You can reassure parents and yourself (after all, you take responsibility for children) only if you carefully approach the issue of choosing the organizer of the festival-competition.

    What we advise you to do before the meeting and what you need to tell your parents (especially if you are going to the competition organizer for the first time):
    - check availability real photo and video reports about the held festivals;
    - look at the organizer's website for reviews from participants;
    - ask for contacts of teachers and team leaders who have already traveled to festivals or competitions of this organizer and personally talk to these teachers (believe me, this is a great way to make sure that everything is in order with the organization).

    Things to tell your parents before you travel:

    Nature has no bad weather, only the wrong clothes
    Check with the trip organizer and weather forecast websites for information on the weather along the route. Tell parents to bring appropriate clothing.
    - Children want to eat
    Plan ahead for your children's daily meals. Often only breakfasts are included in the travel programs, discuss with the organizers whether it is possible to order additional meals in advance, if not, how it can be organized on the route and in the city of destination. In any case, ask parents to give their children non-perishable food - crackers, dryers, cookies, etc. with them on a trip.
    - Money and children
    Ask parents to give their children food money if prepaid meals are not available. Also ask parents to give their children pocket money and souvenirs along the route. In addition, we advise accompanying persons to have spare money with them in case of unforeseen expenses.

    Spring with "Salute of Talents"
    And, of course, we advise you to pay attention to projects Creative Association"Salute of Talents".
