VENDING:
Interested vendors may apply at http://bigdubfestival.com/camping/merchanting-and-food-vending/

ART GRANTS:
We are seeking large scale art installations & scultpures. More info at http://bigdubfestival.com/submit-an-art-grant/

THEME CAMP APPLICATIONS:
Theme camps and villages are the interactive core of Big Dub. An ideal theme camp creates a visually stimulating presence and provide a communal space or other opportunity for interaction. Those who contribute to the creation of this communal space often camp around this site and contribute to maintaining the site during the festival as well as working to provide activities to other festival attendees. Apply at http://bigdubfestival.com/submit-theme-camp/

MUSIC:
Music will run every day of the festival. Two official opening parties will take place on Wednesday the 26th with the Clubhouse Stage in Hilltop and The Pirate Ship at Hemlock hole. The Stone Circle and Pavilion both open on Thursday the 27th. The Stone Circle is our largest stage with the most sound which runs until 11pm on Thursday and midnight on Friday/Saturday. The Pavilion & Pirate Ship are both afterhours stages.

EXODUS:
Sunday, July 30th is the festival clean-up and exodus day. No festivities take place on this day outside of hugging your new friends goodbye!

VOLUNTEERING:
We are seeking motivated people who want to give back to the community and be a part of something special. We are not seeking people who simply want free entry into a festival. We are seeking those who have job skills and a service mentality. If you have never worked for a Badass-owned festival before then your first festival is voluntary and you will be assigned to shadow a senior member. If you are as amazing as we expect then you will be invited back in the future with a paid job which includes other benefits. Keep an eye out for the volunteer tab on our website which will launch sometime in February!

***** CORE PRINCIPLES OF BIG DUB *****

RADICAL SELF EXPRESSION: We are all unique, passionate people. Feel free to be yourself. Wear what you want. Dance how you want. Talk to who you want.

RADICAL SELF RELIANCE: Discover, arrange and rely on your own resources. Preparedness is both important & sexy! “Don’t Be A D*ck” by assuming that others will take care of you.

PARTICIPATION: While anyone can be a spectator, Big Dub Festival is all about stepping out of your comfort zone and experiencing life like you have never done before.

GIFTING: This is the act of making someone’s day… by doing things for another without expectation of compensation or return.

ACCEPTANCE & INCLUSION: Accepting the differences & choices of others and not pass judgment. We are a family built upon includin one another and supporting each other every step of the way.

RESPECT & MINDFULNESS: All members of society expect to be treated fairly regardless of what they do or how they choose to dress (or not dress at all in some cases). Basically “Don’t Be A D*ck!”

CONSENT: Be mindful about your interactions and pay attention to ensure you are not invading someone’s comfort zone. This includes anything from what you say & what you share to the act of touch.
