How to?

We recently made a technical upgrade of FestivalFinder.eu and as a part of it we introduced the concept of “festival editions”.

Down below you can learn about this important change and how it impacts on your festival registration.

In case you need further help, please send us an email on info@festivalfinder.eu

1. Register your first festival on FestivalFinder.eu

When FestivalFinder.eu is new for you and you want to register your festival for the first time on it, we invite you to follow these steps:

  • Select “Register festival” in the upper menu.

  • Create your account.

  • You will be asked to create your “festival organisation”.
    We recommend introducing the name of your festival without an eventual reference to the edition. Your "festival organisation name" is not visible for visitors on FestivalFinder.eu.
    e.g., your festival has the name “Music Festival Brussel 2021” We recommend using “Music Festival Brussel” as the festival organisation name.
  • Next, create your first festival edition and follow the further instructions on the screen. Your "festival edition name" is visible for visitors on FestivalFinder.eu.
  • Be aware that your new festival edition is subject to approval by the FestivalFinder.eu Secretariat.
  • After approval, you will be invited to apply for the EFFE Label.

  • You have two possibilities to create a next edition for your festival:

    1. Click on the button “Add new festival edition” to create a new edition from zero.

    2. Click on “Copy a previous festival edition” if you want to create a new edition starting from the information which is available in an existing “festival edition”.
  • Follow the instructions on the screen.
  • Be aware that each new festival edition is subject to approval by the FestivalFinder.eu Secretariat.
  • In case you received the latest EFFE Label for an existing or previous edition, it will automatically be assigned to your new festival edition.

3. Create another type of festival

In case you organise more than one festival and they are not editions of the same festival, you need to create another “festival organisation”.
E.g. You organise the “Music Festival Brussel” in August and you also organise the “Theatre Festival Brussel” in September.

  • Login to your account.

  • Now you can add another type of festival that you organise by clicking on the button “Add a festival organisation”.

    e.g., your festival has the name “Theatre Festival Brussel 2021”
    We recommend using “Theatre Festival Brussel” as the festival organisation name.
