Step One: Create Your Project and Apply
WELCOME
This page will help you understand every part of Step One: Create Your Project and Apply
Before you start Step One of the application, look at this page. We have a list of all the questions you'll be asked throughout the process. That way you can make sure you have all your answers ready.
Also, make sure you are ready to commit to the festival, because the $35 application fees are non-refundable. We do this in part, because when they were originally free, we had a lot of people not really ready to commit. Then we wasted time that we could have directed towards helping performers that were really committed to doing the festival.
Did you read everything on the 2019 Performers page? Everything you need to know is on that one page.

2019 How to Apply:
STEP ONE: CREATE YOUR PROJECT AND APPLY:
Applications will be open from now until the festival. However, you will have more venue options earlier in the process, and more time to talk with venues the sooner you apply. You will also save money if you make our early registration deadline on January 10, and you will want to be in the printed fringe guide the deadline which is February 1st. So as soon as you can figure out even the first draft of your show idea, get online and apply!
This is a public project - anything you post can be seen by the Fringe world. Hopefully, it will attract some attention from members of the community who might be able to help by lending resources and assistance.

Add Project Basics:
After you create your password (which will allow you to start and stop this process whenever it is convenient for you), you will be able to start telling us some basic information about your Show or Project. It will look like this:
Project Details:
After your "Project Basics" are added, you will be directed to "Project Details." This is much longer, and in more detail. See below for the whole application. Not everything is required right away, but you need enough information to apply for a venue in Step Two! You can always go back to this step, and finish or update the information.
NOTE: See across the top of the webpage is the 5 specific parts of the process "Project Basics," "Project Details," "Tag Project," "Choose Space," and "Register Project." You only need to get to "Tag Project" at first. Then you can take some time to look through venues and spaces to decide what works best for you. That is Step Two, and you have more time on that step!
