For this edition, two projects of national (Spanish) and international scope will be selected a priori, each receiving the following benefits:

• Contracting of company members during the period of residency at Nau Ivanow in line with the pay scales of the union of actors and actresses of Catalonia *see conditions
• 5-week lease of a rehearsal room (part-time) at Nau Ivanow
• Possibility for companies based outside Barcelona to access Nau Ivanow’s accommodation at no additional cost (subject to prior agreement with Nau Ivanow)
• 3 weeks public performance of the work at the Barcelona Sala Atrium
• Access to Nau Ivanow Creative Hub for carrying out production tasks
• Support and advice in matters of production, communication and any other aspect related to the project
• Possibility of mentoring for the company from prestigious creators
• Communication and dissemination of the season and the play from Sala Atrium’s Department of Communication
• Training in communication, production and management of the stage project
• Possibility of a residency at the Cal Gras cultural centre

• To ensure appropriate working conditions, Nau Ivanow can guarantee during the residency period a maximum of 5 individuals directly involved in the project, giving priority, if appropriate and at all working hand in hand at all times with the company, to direction, actors and production personnel.
• The residency aims to offer an experience that proves to be a gateway towards professionalization and enhancement of prestige; accordingly projects that consider within the team the figure of the individual responsible for production will be valued very positively.
• Lease of the rehearsal room will be for 5 weeks between May and June 2020 (part-time), while concrete hours and dates will be negotiated with the grant-holding company. Throughout the 5-week residency at Nau Ivanow, the company will have access to the Creative Hub for management and production tasks.
• The public performance of the stage play will take place between May and July 2020. Specific dates for each project will be negotiated with the grant-holding company.
• The company will receive 60% of the box-office receipts taken during the performance period, given that the organisation is offering promotional support for the season (including specific projects) and technical staff for the staging of productions.
• Selection of successful projects will be made by a committee composed of representatives of Nau Ivanow, Sala Atrium and other agents and the decision will be final. If deemed appropriate, the committee may request an interview with finalists for them to present and explain their project.
• The committee reserves the right to award second prizes with different conditions to those established in this document.
• The committee may declare the prize null and void.
• Nau Ivanow and Sala Atrium, with their logos, will be included as co-producers in the credits and in all types of communication and dissemination material of future performances. During the period of rehearsals and performance established in the prize, the rights of performance of the work will be relinquished to Nau Ivanow and Sala Atrium.
• During the weeks of rehearsal, the committee will engage in an evaluation of the work of the grant-winning collectives and supervise the completion of the established timetable.
• The possible staging of performances in other theatres after the next season of dramatic creation, as a consequence of collaborations during the project with other institutions from the sector, will be a decision for the grant-winning company. The conditions of these performances will be agreed between the company and the theatre, without the participation of Nau Ivanow or Sala Atrium in either the negotiation or the costs generated by these events.
• The grant for this season of drama is not incompatible with other prizes or subsidies, provided the work has never been performed in public.
• Those organising the season of drama will follow the process to ensure good coordination and smooth relations between the company or creator, Nau Ivanow and Sala Atrium.
