1. Headliner – You must have an extensive background performing and recording and still not be offended by our small budget. Usually (but not always) high energy bands, Headliners normally do two sets, one at 1 ½ hours, one at an hour although this can vary.
   
   
2. Featured Artists – usually single/duo headliners, same background requirements as headliners. The performing time can vary. These are “sponsored” spots, funds provided by local sponsors. The number of positions are dependent upon fund raising.
   
   
3. Off-Island Guests – performers who come to the festival for the experience of playing for a very appreciative audience in a magical setting. These are non-paid spots, though we are able to offer small travel bursaries and have in the past been able to acquire travel assistance from the carriers from Prince Rupert.
   
   
4. Local Headliner(s) – Performers applying as a local (i.e. on-island) headliner should be experienced and provide some form of demo recording.
   
   
5. Local Artists – on-island performers, non-paid. The number of spots will vary from year to year.

1. demo recording – It is to your advantage to note your best three songs, as we seldom have time to go through a whole cd. It is good for us to know which ones best represent your stage performance too.
   
   
2. bio’s, press releases etc.
   
   
3. photographs (optional)
   
   
4. stage requirements (include a DRAWING demonstrating placement of vox mics, instrument mics and d.i.’s etc.). This is important for the sound crew.
   
   
5. copy of your application.
