Please note that due to very tight time constraints and in fairness to all the participants, TAGB will strictly enforce schedules and duration and will not make any exceptions in this regard.

• Number of participations in a given category could be limited in order to promote diversity in the program.
• Program will run for about 7 to 8 hours, your slot can be anywhere within the time frame.

• Telugu language, culture and attire are strictly enforced.  No exceptions please.
• Duration – For film dances, program length should not exceed 5 minutes and for innovative programs, length should not exceed 15 minutes. This is to accommodate more participants.
