Requirements:
One national costume — a creative stylization that combines traditional and stage elements for maximum visual impact.
Note:
If the national costume includes any weapon as part of the outfit, it must be completely imitation/prop.
All flammable, sharp, or dangerous accessories must be safe for others.
The costume must not include precious materials, museum artifacts, or elements of erotic clothing.
If the design includes the national flag, it must never touch the floor.
Participants wear their national costumes during:

  • Photo and video sessions
  • The Ethnographic Party
  • The Gala Show on stage

Costumes

  • The main theme of the year is ECOLOGY.
    Please prepare one creative costume inspired by environmental awareness or nature protection.
  • One evening gown in silver color (or embellished with sparkling white rhinestones) for female participants, and a classic black tuxedo for male participants — to be worn for the runway and award ceremony.

One of the most important aspects of evaluation is behavior — including active participation, creativity, punctuality, tolerance, teamwork, and respectful attitude toward others.
Note: If a participant’s score for behavior is lowered, they cannot qualify for the main title or victory.
