HOW TO APPLY: 2012 Uno Artist Applications

Applications for the 2012 Uno Fest (May-June) are now closed. The deadline to apply to Uno Fest was November 4, 2011. Complete details and FAQs are included in the application, which you can download below.  Because support materials are required, there is no online application.

We are looking for fully-produced one-person shows, which are “light” in their production requirements and can be performed in a tight festival repertory schedule (ie – shows with big set installations or extraordinary technical needs may not be possible), and which have video documentation available that can be considered by the jury. We do not read scripts or return videos. All materials must be submitted by the November 4th deadline.

For more information on applying to Uno, contact Janet Munsil, Producer at 250-383-2663 or email.
