ARTISTS
1) How do I know if I’m selected to showcase?
Showcasing artists will be notified by March 30th. The schedule will be posted online once all artists have confirmed.

2) What if I’m not selected?
Non-showcasing artists receive complimentary laminates for all band members to attend the industry panels to network with all the registered industry.

3) Where do I pick up my laminate(s)?
Laminates are distributed at registration area to be determined.

4) Can I submit if I’m not from Florida?
Absolutely! We accept submissions from anywhere.

5) How many laminates do I get?
Showcasing artists receive 1 wristband for each member and 1 crew member for their showcasing day. And access to Conference Panels.

Wristbands are available at all FMF venues for $10/day or $25/ all 3 days and grant access to the showcases. Artists will receive the opportunity to buy DISCOUNT 3 Day passes at the Registration area.

C- The Pocket Rock Guide at the door at each of the FMF venues, or ask your downtown bartender or server.
D- Online on the SCHEDULE page, once it is announced.

2) What is the age requirement for shows?
The daytime performances on Saturday are ALL AGES.
Evening performances are 18+, although some venues may choose to admit only 21+ should they become overcrowded at peak hours.
The headliner at Wall St. is 18+.

3) Do I need to pay every time I go to another venue?
No way! Pick up a wristband at any of the FMF Venues and it’s good all day/night long.

4) Can I get into the Indie Film Jam screenings and Rock Walk?
Absolutely. Don’t forget to check out some great show posters and photography at the Rock Walk (link) (at CITY ARTS FACTORY) and independent music videos and shorts at the IFJ (link)(at DMAC). Both are open throughout the festival, including during the day. Your FMF wristband gets you in.
