Applications Are Now Open for the 2027 Festival
Applications are now open for the 2027 International Eressos Women’s Festival, which will take place in Skala Eressos, Lesvos, from 6–18 September 2027.
Each year, the festival is shaped by the performers, DJs, workshop facilitators, authors, filmmakers, producers and volunteers who contribute their skills, experience and ideas to the programme.
For 2027, we are now accepting applications in the following categories:
- Performers
- DJs
- Workshop Facilitators
- Book Launches & Author Presentations
- Film Screenings
- Product Presentations & Tastings
- Volunteers
Each category has its own application form and information about eligibility, practical arrangements, financial conditions where relevant, and what applicants can expect from the selection process.
For 2027, we are also taking a more considered approach to the overall programme, with particular attention to balance, variety, practical capacity and the experience of festival participants. This includes a smaller and more carefully selected workshop programme alongside performances, films, author events, tastings and other activities.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with most programme decisions expected to be made between January and March 2027. Some categories, including DJs and volunteers, may follow a different timetable as venue programming and operational planning develop.
Submitting an application does not guarantee inclusion in the festival programme. Applicants should read the information provided for their chosen category carefully before applying.
Full information and all 2027 application forms are available on our Participate page:

We look forward to beginning the process of shaping the 2027 festival programme and to receiving proposals from both returning and new contributors.
