Participation  Fee 

Once you are registered into the Academy, no extra payments are required for you to participate in the competitions. For 2021,  in consideration of the prevailing pandemic, the Academy registration has been slashed to USD 25 (NGN 10,000) per participant to make it easier for more people to participate.  In addition to this, we will extend invites to participating schools and departments to send up to 3 students free of charge. All those who have participated in the Future Creative Leaders Academy in the past are not eligible to benefit from this offer. Heads of department are free to enroll as a participating school by sending an email to info@pitcherfestival.com. Student members of KreativeKlub are eligible to join for free.   Go to registration >
