Participation of amateur artists in professional performances

This practical guide deals with the participation of amateur artists in professional performances in France. It sets out the applicable regulations, the conditions under which amateurs may not be paid, the obligations of organising bodies, and specific cases such as the participation of minors under the age of 16. The main aim is to clarify the legal framework for the inclusion of unpaid amateur artists in commercial productions, whilst warning of the risks of undeclared work in the event of non-compliance with the law.
