Dear Esteemed Directors and Participants
We regret to inform you that the 2025 World Championships of Performing Arts has been
postponed due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
The recent civil unrest in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. coupled with the military
deployment, Homeland Security's high alert for California to include cyber attacks as well as
violence (set to expire on September 22. 2025), and numerous travel warnings issued from
participating countries,. has made it impossible to ensure the safety and entry of all
participants. Furthermore., new restrictions on air travel over certain countries, bans of
countries entering the US and additional stipulations placed on embassies have added to
these concerns
Attached are some documents used to make the decision to postpone
The projected new date will be July 2026. When we have confirmed information. it will be
disseminated through National Directors. Your payments will be credited to the new event.
We understand this news is disappointing. and we sincerely wish there was an alternative
solution. This decision was made with the, utmost consideration for the well-being and security
of everyone involved.
