Late Submissions start 3/16/10!

Dear Friends,

We just wrapped up the Mid Submissions (ending 3/15/2010) for applications to participate in Philadelphia’s 7th Annual Black Women’s Arts Festival as a performer, exhibitor, workshop presenter, or vendor.

First we had our Early Submissions, then our Mid (which ended yesterday) and today the Late Submissions started. (The difference is in the submission fee, which was $10-Early, then $15-Mid, now $20-Late).

So, if you missed the Early and Mid submissions, there’s still time now with the Late Submissions, but act now, don’t wait to get your application in.

We cannot directly answer any Facebook messages, posts or most emails regarding the submissions schedule or process. Please refer to ALL the content of the Submissions page of our website to answer your questions. When we receive many of the same question, we include the answer in our newsletter or posts, so feel free to email your questions, knowing we are not able to answer general questions about the Submissions process.

The main method to apply is online (at http://bwaf2010submissions.eventbrite.com
or http://tinyurl.com/ya8bv67) but you can also receive a paper application by sending a SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope) to: Black Women’s Arts Festival, Submissions Application Request, 3721 Midvale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19129-1743 USA.

80-90% of this year's festival features will be selected from those who went to our website (http://BWAFphilly.org), clicked “Submissions” (or used our official Eventbrite link) and followed instructions to the letter. Artists, workshop presenters and vendors on all levels of "accomplishment" are welcome to apply!

We are looking forward to reviewing all of your submissions of exciting work and will soon be planning our schedule of shows, workshops, and vendors!

Best of luck to all of you, and thank you for supporting this wonderful event!


In art and community,


Cassendre Xavier
