2009 NATIONAL FINE ARTS FESTIVAL  
STUDENTS: If there is a category you have qualified for participation at Nationals that you do not wish to register for let us know ASAP.

Also, writing entries will be due to Dustin by email no later than May 1.

PARENTS:  Since there is a registration fee as part of the General Council festivities this year we need to know how many and who is going to Orlando with their students.  The registration fee is only $10.

IMPORTANT DATES

Aug 3~7     2009 NATIONAL FINE ARTS FESTIVAL – ORLANDO, FL
To qualify to be a participant in this event you must receive a Superior with Invitation from the Southern Missouri District Fine Arts Festival. The cost information and registration forms will be available after the SOMO Festival. This event will require the entire week in Charlotte, NC including time for travel.   Students who would like to attend as a General attendee may also attend.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.       All questions regarding Fine Arts and both the District and National Festivals MUST go through a Pastor, Fine Arts Coordinator or a designated leader. This is designed to keep calls to the District and National offices to a minimum as many questions are duplicates and the answers contain information that all may find helpful.

2.       Rulebooks are available by the Welcome Center, free of charge through GPH, and also online. By signing the registration form both STUDENT and PARENT are pledging that they have read the rulebook and will abide by everything it contains. This will include the fact that the Coordinators and Evaluators at the festival have the final say and, barring extreme circumstances NO adjustments will be made. For this reason:

3.       Throughout the year and at both the District and National Festivals, any questions, complaints, comments, or concerns WILL go through Pastor Nick, Pastor Darren, Fine Arts Coordinator or a designated leader. This is to help separate the emotion from the situation. Many issues that arise are also covered in the rulebook and are not necessary to bring up at Festival.

4.       We will attempt as many fundraisers as you, the students and parents, are willing to conduct. The funds from these fundraisers will be used solely for the National Fine Arts Festival fees, traveling, and hotel expenses. Additional payments may be needed and will be due BEFORE we leave for the festival.

5.       We must have contact information for those interested in Fine Arts because it is vital that we be able to contact anyone and everyone at short notice for updates on Fine Arts Festivals, fundraisers, events, and any other issue that may arise.
