Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the criteria for participation?
Watumi Festival & Fringe is open to all artists but, whether we like it or not, certain legislation must be adhered to. Please read the conditions and rules for festival participation.
Another legal aspect that must be honoured is The Copyright Law. We strongly recommend you obtain written approval for all the copyrighted material used in your performance.
What accommodation, food and transport facilities are available?
We can provide accommodation for a modest fee for artists participating at the Watumi Festival. You can opt for a room in the University campus or bring a tent and there will be specially allocated campsites. We are organising locations where, at student prices, delicious hot and cold food will be served. Unfortunately we are unable to offer subsidised transport this year.
What happens if I cancel my performance?
We wouldn’t like to hear that, but we understand that occasionally it is necessary. Should that be the case, please let us know at least 14 days before the event so we can reschedule. If you cancel with less than 14 days notice, we reserve the right to impose a financial penalty in lieu of our expenses incurred (i.e. venues, technical expenses, promotional costs, etc�)
Will I share the venue with other performers?
That depends on the category under which you are registered, the nature of your show and the availability of venues. We will discuss this with each artist/group on an individual basis.
Who can I contact for further information?
Please email us at vreau@watumi.ro and we will do our best to get back to you A.S.A.P.
