Found some application forms and the rules for the 32nd April Spring Friendship Art Festival. “The April Spring Friendship Art Festival is an international event that is held in Pyongyang to mark the Day of the Sun (April 15, the birthday of President Kim Il Sung). The festival, which began in 1982, aims at promoting joint development of music and art by strengthening friendship, unity, and cultural exchange between the artists from many countries of the world under the ideal of independence, peace, and friendship.
