The task of the artistic advisory board is to review, recommend, and select performances for the festival. The program is assembled with a focus on quality and diversity within Danish performing arts for children and young people.

The dramaturgical committee consists of professionals appointed by the Horsens Theatre Festival. The composition of the dramaturgical committee aims for diversity, both artistically and geographically.
