Submissions came from 13 states out of 72 total, and the elimination round is scheduled for late August, with a final ceremony on 1 September at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The contest, coinciding with INBAL’s 80th anniversary, is divided into three categories for emerging, consolidated, and established creators, highlighting a diverse contemporary dance scene across the country.
