Encapsulating the essence of Visakhapatnam and campus life in one word, SHORe Fest 2023 has themed its events around the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Each event has been carefully planned around these goals to make the event more mindful and inclusive.

On the cultural front, Narthana, a classical dance competition will be the curtain raiser of the three-day event by paying tribute to the rich culture of India. Followed by this, Groove Theory, a western group dance competition will be held on day one, giving a free hand to the participants to cook up creative themes and set the floor on fire. Day one will end with a theatre competition named Act-O-Mania.

Day two, 4 February 2023, will have three events, namely Rang, a painting competition, Battle of Bands, and Just for Laughs, a stand-up comedy competition. Followed by this, the last and final day will have two interactive competitions. A treasure hunt that is both fun and educative and a Verbattle in which two teams will battle off their views on one topic.

Apart from these other cultural events such as rap battles, scavenger hunts, solo dances, short films, face painting, poetry, pitch-off, and 69 seconds to fame will be organised at the GITAM University SHORe Fest 2023.
