BIPOC Application

Applicants can apply for festival tickets to our partnered events +/- travel support (travel stipends are currently VERY limited)

• A team of BIPOC reviewers created the principles and decision-making algorithms for the selection process

• All submissions will be de-identified (names removed during the selection process so the application will be anonymous to the reviewers)

• Each applicant can rank-order the festivals they want to attend from our list of partnered festivals

• BACCES will make every effort to match applicants with their preferred festivals, and if we have more applicants than tickets, we will rely on a lottery system to select the winners

• Applications will be open for ~2 weeks 

• BACCES plans to notify recipients by ~[date tbd] via the email supplied on the application form

• BACCES will have a waitlist for each festival in case someone who is awarded can’t go. Waitlist notifications will likely go out in early June

A paid BIPOC committee has created criteria and weightings for application reviews.  All applicants will be anonymous, and a lottery system will be used to award recipients based on available funds.  Black and Indigenous folks will be favored in this process, and we are aiming to have a mix of new/experienced and local/traveling acrobats.

The only criteria to apply are being BIPOC and wanting to attend one of our partnered festivals.  There are no merit or financial-based criteria.
