Yes! Each application allows you to select 3 tours in ranked preference of first, second and third. You then have the option of adding additional tours for $10 CAD/$8 CAD (Equity-Seeking).
However, you can only enter each individual tour lottery once and will rank your selected tours in order of preference.
Successful artists / companies can only be selected for one CAFF tour.
You can review the webpage with all the tour listings here or download a PDF of all the tour listings here.
Absolutely! You can build additional Festival stops around your CAFF tour as long as you manage those applications, fees, schedules, travel, and logistics independently.
Artists are responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs.
Some participating Festivals offer billeting, hotel discounts, local transportation, and other artist supports. These will be identified in the individual tour information.
No. Artists are responsible for determining and meeting any visa, work permit, immigration, customs, or other border requirements associated with their tour.
CAFF does not provide immigration advice, obtain visas or permits on behalf of artists, or guarantee that an artist will be permitted to enter or work in another country.
Artists considering a Cross-National Tour should research the applicable requirements before entering the Lottery and allow enough time to complete any necessary processes.
If circumstances change after the Lottery, CAFF will work with the affected artist and Festival to determine the best available option.
Because Festival circumstances can change, CAFF cannot guarantee that a replacement Festival will be available.
If circumstances arise that prevent you from participating in one of your CAFF tour stops, we encourage you to contact CAFF as soon as possible, as well as the Festival in question. Should it be the case that the extraordinary circumstances can’t be resolved, then the Artist will be able to drop that stop with no consequence from CAFF.
Artists art subject to the drop deadlines and refund policies for each individual Festival, and will communicate directly with the Festival they are dropping from in regards to potential refunds of participation fees.
