The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) has opened the call for proposals for the Manila International Performing Arts Market (MIPAM) 2026, inviting performing arts companies and artists to submit showcase proposals until 31 March 2026.

Applicants must send a proposal, action photos, and a one-minute rehearsal video to mipam@culturalcenter.gov.ph. The organizers encourage bold and original works, including folk reinterpretations, contemporary and street-inspired performances, cross-border collaborations, and tech-driven productions.

Selected participants will present their works to producers, festival programmers, promoters, and presenters from the Philippines and abroad. Through partnerships with embassies, festival organizers, and industry stakeholders, MIPAM provides a platform for artists to pitch projects and build international collaborations.

With the theme “Showcasing Asia to the World,” MIPAM 2026 will be held from 11 to 13 September at the Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez of the CCP.

Organized by the CCP with CREATE Philippines and the DTI-Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions, the event aims to connect Filipino performing artists with international markets and industry partners.
