In India, a cultural festival, cultfest, culfest or college fest is an annual cultural event at a college or university organised by the student community, involving participants from other colleges as well.[1][2][3][4][5] Professional performing artists are also typically invited, and a number of competitions are held for students. Fests are usually funded through sponsors, although some colleges have begun exploring the idea of crowdfunding.[6]
General format[edit | edit source]
Most college culfests last between two and five days. The events in a culfest can be broadly classified into four sections:
- Literary events
Literary events usually include quizzes, word games, creative writing and some form of public speaking or debate.
- Cultural events
These include such competitions as music, dance, fine arts and drama.
- Professional events
One or more professionally staged entertainment programs may be scheduled.
- Gaming events
Video games and board games may be played.
