Also prohibited are any accounts whose main purpose is to cause harm to others based on any of these characteristics.

9. The creators of the festival NGO Pamanteni reserve the right to have the last word when choosing participants and the right to not explain their choice to people who are not professionals in the field of international interdisciplinary festivals.

* The restrictions described in clauses 1 and 4 do not in any way infringe upon anyone's rights and freedoms, but are intended to encourage artists from different countries and different age groups to unite their efforts.
