Café, Film, Rogue Gallery, Bring Your Own Venue and Bring Your Own

WHAT IS A BYOV?
A BYOV (Bring Your Own Venue) is a performance space that is a
participant in the 2007 Rogue Performance Festival, but is
independently managed by the participating artists or the venue
owner.
WHY DO I WANT MY OWN BYOV?
A BYOV allows you to present work that can't be fully realized
within the constraints of a regular Rogue venue, either because of
the size of the production, its running time or technical
requirements.
BYOV applicants secure their own performance space and determine the
number of performances. There is no time limit on their performances
and no upper limit on their ticket prices.
Performance dates and times are determined jointly by the applicant
and the Rogue.
And, if you operate a theater or large arts institution, the Rogue's
BYOV component allows you to bring your whole organization and its
programs into the Rogue Performance Festival.
WHAT MUST I SUPPLY TO HAVE A ROGUE BYOV?
BYOV participants are responsible for providing an audience-safe
venue with their own lighting and sound equipment, technical staff,
box-office staff and front house staff.
WHAT WILL THE ROGUE DO FOR MY BYOV?
Publicity, baby! The Rogue will list your BYOV in the Rogue Map, the
Rogue website and all Festival promotional material sent to the
media. As far as promotions are concerned, the crack Rogue PR team
will treat your BYOV as a full participant in the Rogue, giving your
venue full access to the Rogue's 7000-plus audience.
If you want, the Rogue organization will also work with your venue
in an advisory capacity to make sure your Rogue experience is as
enjoyable and productive as possible.
WHAT'S WITH THE PRICING? WHY DO I GET CHARGED MORE FOR MORE
PERFORMERS?
For the Rogue, the principal expense of each BYOV company is the
listing in the Rogue Map. The more companies in your BYOV, the
bigger the listing in the Rogue Map for your BYOV, and the higher
our printing costs.
CAN MY VENUE BE BOTH A BYOV AND A BYOG?
Sure! The Rogue doubles up performing and gallery venues, and so can
you! What's more, you don't have to pay a double application fee for
your venue to be both a BYOV and a BYOG.
Please note, however, that your total application fee will be based
on the total number of performing arts companies performing and
visual artists showing in your BYOV/BYOG.
ELIGIBILITY
Any individual, company or
institution is eligible to apply as a BYOV participant in the Rogue.
All applications must have a company name, primary and secondary
contact. If an individual/company has been found submitting more
than one application, ALL applications submitted by that
individual/company will be removed from the application process. The
primary and secondary contacts of a company cannot be the contacts
for a second company applying to The Rogue Performance Festival.
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS
Participants from outside the Fresno area, like locals, are
responsible for all aspects of production, as well as travel and
accommodation expenses. With adequate advance notice, we MAY be able
to find places for you to stay and volunteers for your tech crew.
Participants are considered national or international if they are
traveling from outside of a 100 mile radius of the Fresno area.
PUBLICITY
Each participating individual or company is expected to provide its
own show-specific publicity. The Rogue provides general Festival
publicity and your production will be listed in the official Rogue
Map program guide, in all Festival publicity to the media, and on
our website (www.roguefestival.com).
Companies will be asked to submit copies of your press kit (photos,
releases, bio, etc.) to the Rogue Publicity Coordinator NO LATER
than December 15th, 2006.
Publicity materials must be submitted via the online Performer
Publicity Information form on the Rogue website. Photos must be
submitted in JPEG or TIFF formats (at least 300 DPI).
BOX OFFICE / TICKETS
As a BYOV participant, you are responsible for providing your own
box office staff and handing your own box office sales.
The Rogue sets no limit on how much you can charge for tickets at
BYO venues--HOWEVER, the Rogue strongly encourages BYOVs to set
their ticket prices at $10 or less. Ticket prices at regular Rogue
venues are kept low in order to encourage audience members to see as
many performances as they like. Keeping ticket prices low at your
BYOV will get bigger in audiences in your venue, plus, you'll be
more in keeping with the spirit of the Festival.
Distribution of box office receipts to companies performing at BYO
venues is a private matter to be arranged between the companies and
their BYO venue manager.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
In order for your application to be processed:
* All questions on the online application form must be answered in
full.
* You must pay the application fee, including the non-refundable $25
processing fee.

successful by December 8th, 2006.
WITHDRAWALS AND APPLICATION REFUNDS
All withdrawals from the 2007 Rogue Performance Festival must be
made in writing by the BYO venue's primary contact.
If you wish to withdraw from the Festival, the Rogue must receive
your notification by December 1st, 2006, for you to receive a 100%
refund of your application fee, minus the non-refundable $25
application processing fee.
"If the Rogue receives your written withdrawal notice after December
1st, 2006, but before January 1st, 2007, you will receive a refund
of 75% of your application fee, not including the non-refundable $25
