- Introducing the FEST QUEST
Hey Festies! We’re excited to offer a new opportunity that pairs your passion with music, art and community, with the chance to create and celebrate the culture that we all call home.
Fest Quests are not designed to be your average festival experience. This is an adventure. Step outside your comfort zone, build new relationships, and tap into your creativity.
Do you want to share your vision with the world whilst two-stepping to the unique melodic motions of each destination? We got you 🤝
Okay, so you’ve got the basics. Here are some key considerations before you start packing your bags.
Participation in a Fest Quest requires that you take the objectives seriously, so read through them before you apply and make sure you understand the mission.
While the objectives for each festival serve as a guide, your unique creative point of view is essential to completing the Quest.
All Fest Quest participants will be selected solely based on their application, so make sure to highlight the value you can bring to this experience.
Quality over quantity! Memorable experiences are once in a lifetime, so take some dance breaks so that your photos and videos aren’t shakey.
We’ve got you covered - those who are selected will receive free tickets to attend the Fest Quest that they’ve applied for. How you get there will be a test of your Wookery 🧙♀️
