HOW TO APPLY

Applications accepted from Jan 8, 2024.
Application Deadline April 30, 2024
Confirmation May 15, 2024
The application for 2024 is still FREE for ALL performers.

Please be sure to only apply with a PROFESSIONAL Burlesque / Boylesque / Comedy / Cabaret / Artistic / Queerlesque / Singer / Vaudeville / Circus act. 
We will confirm all chosen performers by May 15, 2024 at the latest. Please understand that we only have around 25 performance slots.
Please feel free to perform at other events in the Frankfurt am Main area AFTER the Frankfurt Burlesque Festival is over, BUT please do check the criteria of other events. Some festivals DO NOT allow you to perform the same act in the same time period or region, so we would advise you not to apply to them with the same act with which you apply for the Frankfurt Burlesque Festival. With that said, please don’t hesitate to send us your strongest performance in order to give yourself the best possible chance of being part of our unique show. If you need further help on this topic please let us know via the contact form. Please rock the many stages of Frankfurt!
Your performance should not exceed 7 minutes.
For any additional questions about the festival or for further information about the application fee/venue, please feel free to contact us.

Please send your invoice to contact (at) frankfurt-burlesque-festival.de latest 2 weeks after the festival date.

We will receive the payment from the ticketing company 1 week after the FBF, therefore payment will be transferred to you latest 14 days after the festival.

COMMUNICATION

We communicate (and can be reached) by both email or PM on social media platforms. All important information will be sent by email (see mail address above) in the case that someone does not use/check social media platforms.
Please remain patient when awaiting a reply – it can take up to two / three days.

GUESTLIST / ARTIST PASSES

The USUAL question… if we are able to give you some free seats WE WILL DO IT. In the event that a show night is not sold-out, we will offer a priority invitation to all performers. HOWEVER, we cannot guarantee it and it will of course be last minute, SO please support our festival by inviting friends and family to purchase a ticket.
It is NOT possible to enter the backstage area on the day/night on which you are NOT performing. Of course NO GUESTS will be allowed at any time either.

PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEO

YES we are photographing and filming the show for YOU, but by submitting your application you agree to allow FBF to use your image and video for future promotional purposes too.
YES you can also use and post the photos/video footage but please credit all media as follows:  Frankfurt Burlesque Festival, photographer/videographer name.

MEDIA & MARKETING

YES, once chosen, we will promote your appearance at our festival as much as we can, eg. by newspaper, radio, tv and all online media platforms. Please help by promoting us too on your social networks and any interviews etc.
Please announce your participation in the Frankfurt Burlesque Festival on your websites and social media profiles.
In the event of other specific marketing ideas we will be sure to contact you in advance.
