<ul Ensure a financially closed operating model, as the municipal contribution of € 30,000.00 only covers part of the costs. Focus on the capacity for commercial exploitation and the recruitment of sponsors and ticket revenues. Take into account a long duration of four editions in which consistency and further development of the formula are central.
