The story

Prix des Arts Scolaires Bazega in Kombissiri

An eighteen-year-old school arts competition in Kombissiri where teams from sixteen establishments perform theater, storytelling, recitation and traditional dance over five days. Founded by the Bienvenue theatre du Bazega troupe in 2007, it carries dual ministerial patronage across culture and education portfolios and mixes competition rounds with conferences and an excursion to Tandaga mountain before a results-and-prizes closing ceremony.

Sixteen school troupes from the south-central and central regions once again converged on Kombissiri for the eighteenth staging of the Prix des Arts Scolaires, a competition founded in 2007 by the Bienvenue theatre du Bazega troupe specifically to surface young talent inside the school system rather than to showcase professional artists.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes this different from a typical school pageant is its scale of official backing and its age: eighteen editions running since 2007, with patronage split between the ministries of culture and basic education and a sitting deputy as sponsor

02

The mystery stays covered

The competition format spans four distinct disciplines, theater, storytelling, recitation and traditional dance, judged across sixteen participating establishments from two regions rather than a single town

03

The city starts moving

A built-in excursion to Tandaga mountain breaks up the auditorium schedule with a shared outdoor activity, an unusual addition for a school arts prize and one that gives the week a rhythm closer to a youth camp than a straight competition
