INTRODUCTION
Part of the Delphic Games identity includes six Delphic art categories, with many disciplines within each category. While not all disciplines can be or must be a part of the worldwide Delphic Games, Junior Delphic Games and Regional Delphiads, they are showcased in 3 distinct ways – Competition, Presentation and Exhibition.
Each art category includes:
- Intangible Cultural Heritage as presentations in the non-competitive section
- Digital Photography in the competitive section – Known as ‘Delphix’
Only the disciplines with an asterisk below are mandatory while others may or may not be a part of the Games or regional Delphiads.
For detailed information, you can request guidelines on ‘How to become a Delphic Member’.
