4. Application
Submitting activity proposals for FAVA is done exclusively through the form available on the page created for that purpose. The form requests details about your proposal, including description, duration, conditions necessary for execution, and budget.
We prioritize proposals that present themselves as self-sufficient in terms of equipment and materials needed to perform the activity or show.
Any proposal that conflicts with the purpose or any of the ideas defended by FAVA will be automatically excluded.
We prefer proposals that, through the organization of the activity and the lifestyle of its proponents, demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, such as choosing green travel modes, using recycled or compostable materials, respecting human rights, and adopting veganism.
We value innovative and creative proposals that offer unique and enriching experiences to visitors of all ages. We encourage new and interesting approaches to the proposed themes.
5. Selection
Proposals will be evaluated by the FAVA organization, which will make the necessary assessment based on the criteria mentioned above and their contribution to the objectives of the event.
All applications will be analyzed and their proponents notified of the result in due time.
The program of confirmed activities is published and updated every week on the page created for that purpose.
6. Payment
When an activity is presented under volunteer terms, we evaluate the possibility of moving forward with support for travel, accommodation, or meals.
Proposals submitted with a budget agree to receive a small part1 of the value in Benfazer Credits2.
Payment is made by bank transfer by October 15 and only after receiving the respective invoice (or green receipt).
1 - Up to a maximum of 100 euros.
