Applicants are expected to submit a comprehensive proposal, including the festival’s vision, a plan for programming activities, and details on how local vendors and artists will be involved. A collaborative aspect is crucial, and projects that showcase partnerships with local schools, art organizations, and culinary institutes will receive priority in the review process.
