Artists who choose to submit a work for performance by the Audio-Visual Collective or for screening during the festival (categories 1 & 4) are not required to attend. For performers and artists who are able to attend and perform during the festival, we will be able to provide you with documentation of your work. We will provide all artists with a copy of the program from the festival.

There is no application fee or registration fee for the festival.

We strongly encourage submissions from traditionally underrepresented artists.
