fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: IS THIS A PAYING FESTIVAL?
A: That varies from year to year. We rely heavily on business sponsorships to meet our budget. Once our budget is met, we try to provide a small stipend. We also try to alleviate some financial strain by helping set up transportation, hotel and local homing between performers. You are also welcome to get your own travel sponsor in exchange for advertising space and merch, just let us know their information by July 31st.
Q: WHAT ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO?
A: We will have an official photographer who will provide images. Unwatermarked images are usually available from the photographer for a small fee. We are currently trying to work out the same for video.
Q: WILL THE APPLICATION DEADLINE BE EXTENDED?
A: Again this varies. The more that the festival grows, the less likely it is that we will extend the deadline. If you would like to apply but have any sort of issue with the deadline, please contact us by March 31th,2019.
Q: CAN MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER/ FAMILY/ FRIENDS BE GUEST LISTED?
A: Due to the nature of our festival, we do not allow plus ones. We do offer GA seating for $20 a weekend pass. We also are open to any assistance your friends/ family can provide, such as kittening.
Q: I DON'T HAVE QUALITY VIDEO OF MY ACT, WHAT CAN I DO?
