Subsidized Registrations Policy

It is the intention of the Unison Festival Board of Directors to make the festival accessible to as many singers as possible. To that end, Unison Festival is making a limited number of subsidized delegate registrations available for $100.

General

1. The value of the subsidy accorded with a subsidized delegate registration is $75.

2. Unison Festival reserves the right to limit the number of subsidized delegate registrations accorded per choir, to ensure equitable access to the subsidized registrations.

Eligibility

3. Subsidized delegate registrations will be allocated based on need.

4. Only singing members of participating choirs are eligible for subsidized delegate registrations.

5. In order to qualify for a subsidized registration, a prospective delegate must also be receiving an equal or greater subsidy from another source.

7. Applications must include:

a. Singer’s name

b. Singer’s section in the choir

8. All requests must be submitted by email to admin@unisonfestivalunisson.ca.

9. The deadline for submitting applications for subsidized registrations is November 30, 2017.

Allocation Process

10. The applications received will be reviewed as a group.
