A panel of seasoned judges, drawn from the world of arts and culture, will meticulously assess the submissions in two stages: firstly as a desk work to pre-select the 12 artists to take part in the 9-day residency, secondly, during the closing event. They'll be looking for a creative spark, a commitment to cross-cultural collaboration, expressing EU values of respect of human rights, gender equality, non-discrimination and free speech and a passion for promoting art.

Four artists from each category (fashion, music, visual arts) will be chosen from Ghana, Togo, Benin, and European Member states, to take place in the Fusion residency. Read more on the rules of eligibility of artists and the selection process below
