An Electronic Press Kit, or "EPK" is a collection of materials used to promote your business, whether you are an artist, musician, craftperson, band, food vendor, other exhibitor or company. Your FestivalNet profile serves as your EPK. Complete your profile by adding bio, photos, music, videos, calendar and blog. The more complete your EPK, the more a promoter can conveniently learn all about you from one easy link.

In the Pro search full show details page, next to the promoter's email address you will notice this link, "Get Booked." Click there and select your choice under "Contact this event about applying" to generate an email from you to the event promoter with a link to your FN profile/EPK.

Use this link to quickly contact festivals you are interested in applying for. Before you use this tool, be sure your FestivalNet profile is complete. From the My Account area, you can modify your profile page (includes your bio), add photos, songs, videos, blog, and calendar.

This functionality needs to work with your default email program on your computer/browser, which you need to have set up first. You will have the chance to add more text to the email containing your EPK before sending the email.

Member FAQs

We scale your images down so it is not exactly possible to blow them up to a printable size for profit or personal use. Without the source image, in high resolution format, it is near impossible to recreate the image in a high enough quality to print it for display.

All artists who post their work on the web face this concern. Another option is to add a watermark over your image before uploading it.

Festival/Promoters FAQs

You can upload a unique image to accompany each event. The upload image option is in the top right corner of the 'edit event' form. Head over to "Manage My Events" to get started. Be sure your event photo is at least 320 pixels wide.

To change or edit a previously uploaded image, click 'change image' in the event 'edit event' form. After image changes be sure to click 'save changes' at the bottom of the 'edit event' form.

Keep in mind once you have added a profile image, that will show with your events until you add a separate event image. If you add an image to one event and not others, the profile image will appear with events that have no event image added. Viewers will be able to see both your event photo and your profile image, once both are added. If you have not added a profile image or event image, one of our default images will show with your event. You can upload a profile pic in Modify Profile.

Seller questions - Also, view our Seller Tips page.

Thumbnails are the same size in all Seller's shops and throughout the FestivalNet Marketplace so your original image will be cropped to fit. We crop from the center point of the image. For best results, make sure the most important part of your item is centered in the image with equal space above, below, right & left. You will see your full original photo when viewing item listing.

You may upload 5 images per item. File types supported are jpg, jpeg, gif, & png. Please do not upload small thumbnail sized images! They will appear blurry when they are resized to fit the available space.

The recommended image shape is square if you want to avoid your image being cropped or changed in an odd way, when shown with the item, keep your image somewhere between 360 to 800 pixels wide. Our suggested minimum width is 360 pixels. Keep in mind images wider than 800 pixels will be resized.

The limit for all photos included with an item's listing is 100 MiB (104.86 MB), and the maximum size of a single image file is 75 MiB (78.64 MB).
