Most festivals operate using traditional paper-based application systems. You probably mail applications to artists, process those applications by hand, require applicants to send in slides, meet in a room for jurying, run to the bank to deposit checks, deal with bounced checks, and so forth. FestOS, the Festival Operating System, can help automate all that! FestOS is a powerful web-based application that offers these great features:

  • Online applications eliminate time-consuming paper-based application processes.
  • Online payments via PayPal or credit cards* simplify your finances.
  • Digital photo uploads eliminate slides.
  • Artists fill in all the data so you don't have to, saving you time!
  • Publish categorized artist listings on your web site with the click of a button.
  • Simple web forms to manage applicants, update contacts, publish sponsor lists, etc. — It's easy to do!
  • Web-based jurying saves time, provides flexibility.
  • Send email reminders and booth assignment notices to save time and postage.

FestOS is great for:

  • Arts & Crafts festivals
  • Collectibles shows
  • Food festivals
  • Antiques expos
  • Music festivals
  • ...any event where exhibitors apply for entry, are selected to participate, and could be listed on your web site for the duration of the show
