Benefits for CIOFF® Festivals
In addition to the global advantages for all members, CIOFF developed during the last 40 years the following specific benefits for CIOFF Festivals:
Festivals Network and CIOFF Logo
Each year, CIOFF assures the coordination of about 250 CIOFF Festivals in more than 50 countries reaching some fifty thousand artists. For CIOFF Festival Organizers, this worldwide network represents opportunities of formal and informal contacts for exchange of ideas, for learning from other festivals’ experiences and for international cooperation.
The CIOFF Logo expresses the commonly shared cultural objectives, organizational quality and high artistic level of CIOFF Festivals.
