All applications are evaluated by an independent evaluation panel, in collaboration with the Artistic Director, according to the evaluation criteria included in the KKNK 2026 Programme Guidelines. Following this process, provisional and final selection results are sent via the KKNK office.
We actively encourage production proposals that can be considered for future festivals, allowing for effective long-term planning. If you have a proposal for the 31st KKNK in 2027, please send it to Hugo Theart at hugo@kunste.org.za
