The new venue is located a few kilometres north of Koblenz in Neuwied/Engers, is romantically situated directly on the river Rhine, and its campus character, infrastructure and short distances mean that students, performing artists, lecturers, jurors, luthiers, exhibitors and festival visitors will once again be able to easily meet, exchange ideas and spend time together.

- Presentation with photo, short description and website link via the festival’s Facebook page and Instagram.
- Inclusion of your logo (PDF, EPS, TIF or JPG; 300 dpi) and website link on our website.

The cost for this package is 290 Euro.
