2019 contest – “Pour l’Amour du Fil” show

2019 contest – “Pour l’Amour du Fil” show

The theme of the 2019 contest is “The Mysteries of the West”.

From Lorient to St Malo, from Biarritz to the Landes coast, from the forest of the wizard Merlin to the menhirs of Carnac, from Jules Verne to Los Angeles, take inspiration from the culture of the Atlantic coastline but that is not all!

The west continues to the ends of the earth, the Far West and its deserts, the Pacific coast and Malibu, on the way out West!

For now you know the theme; the terms and conditions will be given in detail below.
