The quantity discount 10 + 1 also features in 2022: if you enter 11 works, the entry with the lowest fee is accepted free of charge.
New price for entering a series of works
Golden Drum festival is also presenting new possibilities for entering a series of works into the competition. The pricing of the series applies as follows: first entry of the series will be charged by the entry fee for the individual group (as posted on the Golden Drum website), while each additional entry within the series is charged a flat fee of 50 € per entry.
