Act details:

Act length is 5 Min. (However, if you have an act that will fit but it's longer, feel free to send it over for consideration as well).  *Please note that we cannot accept any fire or aerial acts.
The act that you submit will be the one that is performed, and there will be no option to change it.
We do accept all kinds of acts (also, even if you don't have a horror act, please feel free to apply with your best act)
All performers receive free entry to the festival.

Workshops
There will be workshops during the daytime across the three days.
These will be held at two different venues.
If you would like to offer a workshop, please let us know; as for this edition, we will be taking only 8-10 workshops. This is because we want to allow everyone to go to all workshops if they wish.

Vendors Market:
During the festival, there will be a market with various stalls and vendors selling wares to buy.
If you'd like to a stall, please let us know. All stalls are free, but we do ask in exchange that you donate something for our winners or the raffle.
The market will be in the same venue as the shows, so we are limited on space.
Performers: If you have postcards or flyers of you or your business, please give them to us, and we will place them out for you on the promotable.

Any other support:
Please let us know if you need support or want us to know anything else, from accessibility to general questions and concerns. Also, we want to inform you that the venue is on a ship, so it isn't the best for accessibility. There are steps to get to the main venue where the event will be held. However, please get in touch with us, and we will do everything we can to make it comfortable for you.

Conduct:
Be aware that we will not tolerate any problematic acts or behavior. This is a safe space where we will not accept any hate, racist behavior, or similar will not be tolerated.
We also reserve the right not to allow performers to perform who are drunk, disorderly, or under the influence of drugs or any other substances. The festival reserves the right to exclude these performers from the festival if necessary.
