Artists Applications Close on 30 July 2010

The 2011 Apollo Bay Music Festival is presented over two days and two nights, commencing Friday 8 April evening till the finale in the late afternoon on Sunday 10 April.

A community, not for profit event, the Apollo Bay Music Festival aims to present a broad spectrum of musical and artistic performance in many and varied venues.

As an independent community festival, committed to presenting a broad program representing excellence in many genres of music and artistic performance, please understand that only a percentage of the many applicants will be selected to perform. With this in mind the selection committee will look at specific areas such as originality, versatility (e.g; ability to perform on varied stages or as part of a special event within the festival), and audience appeal, and due to budget constraints, affordability is also important when choosing artists.

When quoting your fee can you please factor in your travel to the festival and accommodation if you are unwilling to camp. Artists will be responsible for booking and paying for their own accommodation if they are not willing to camp. The Festival will provide camping sites only. Once an artist is booked a full list of accommodation options will be provided.

Please note that it is extremely unlikely to book an act two years in a row unless there are special circumstances, such as a CD launch or an artist/act has been extended an invitation to perform in a special themed event.

A volunteer selection committee reviews all applications received and all are given fair and reasonable consideration. The selection committee’s decision is final. If we have not contacted you by the end of September 2011 you have not been successful. As the committee receives thousands of application we cannot reply to them all. Thank you for your understanding.
