On 2 October the Bertsolaris Championship of Navarra 2021 starts, which will last until 27 November. Previously, in June, three pre-selection sessions will be held, with the aim of completing the list of bertsolaris participating in the championship. On 18 June they will be held in Igantzi, on 19 in Puente la Reina and on 20 in Irurita.

According to the rules of the championship, only the bertsolaris who participated in the last edition (the 2019 edition) are guaranteed the pass to the competition. Those who have not participated in the championship, or participated in any edition prior to 2019, will have to play a pre-qualifying stage. The tests are completed with the last four qualifiers of the championship. Thus, there are 12 bertsolaris who are already ranked for the championship that will start in October, and 18 who will contest the previous qualifiers. Twelve of the latter will win the qualifying pass, so the championship will start in October with a total of 24 bertsolaris.

Pre-evaluation sessions will be conducted in compliance with all current health and capacity measures. In the portal www.bertsosarrerak.eus you can get entries for all of them: EUR 5 current, EUR 4 for members and EUR 3 for those under 16 years of age. These are the details of the three sessions to be held at the Main Theatre in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
