This is a great opportunity to be seen and to share your musical talents with all festivalgoers. Thanks to Robin Howard and Dakarai McCoy for running this stage and sound.

Specifics:

• Sound: All performers will be able to use our professional sound system and operator.
• Sign Ups: All performers will be first-come first-served. We reserve the right to block out a couple slots for our Volunteers/Managers/Directors, but probably won't.
• There will be a manager/assistant in charge of the Sign-up Stage to ensure an orderly transition between performers and to resolve any questions about sign-up procedures and eligibility.
• Each performance must comply with all the rules/requirements of the festival, including professionalism and no profanity, etc.
• The festival reserves the right to terminate or eliminate performances which are not family appropriate or may not fall within our mission (e.g., hard rock etc).
• Permission to Record or Photograph: By agreeing to present at the AFF you are giving permission to film, videotape or photograph any presentation provided at the Folk Festival, and to publish, disclose and distribute and otherwise use, in accordance with any applicable copyright restrictions. The film, videotape, and photographs to document and illustrate could be used to promote the Albuquerque Folk Festival and its city, state, and regional grantors, such as Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, WESTAF, and NM Arts.
