b) eleven were unsuccessful as the organisations had submitted more than one application. For seven of these organisations, another stall application was successful while the other four were from one organisation which was a commercial vendor of a product already well represented by several participating stallholders;
c) one was deemed unsuccessful as the organisation operates a commercial premise with an outdoor eating area within the Festival footprint;
d) the three commercial applications for stalls in Glebe Park were unsuccessful as their produce was very similar in nature to a commercial stallholder who had already been granted a stall in that part of the Festival footprint, as they were the first to apply; and
e) one application for a stall in Glebe Park was unsuccessful as the stall was considered unsuitable for the family-focussed theme of that part of the Festival footprint.
Disclosure of the names of the unsuccessful stallholders is not in keeping with the Community Services Directorate Privacy Statement, which is in accordance with Territory Privacy Principles, set out in the Information Privacy Act 2014.
8. Under the 2020 National Multicultural Festival Performer Terms and Conditions, performers applying for the Festival can do so under three categories:
a) volunteer performers;
b) National Multicultural Festival grant recipient performers; and
c) paid performers (which excludes headline acts).
Volunteer performers and grant recipient performers are considered a high priority and are consequently given preference in the entertainment program scheduling.
All 67 unsuccessful applicants applied under the paid performer’s category.
Paid performers are assessed for scheduling into the entertainment program based on the following factors:
• cultural and entertainment relevance and value;
• available stage time across the three days;
• the duration of their performances;
• the number of ‘sets’ that would be performed for the requested payment; and
• alignment with the Festival’s cultural entertainment program including stage placement considerations.
Based on these factors, paid performers are assigned a rating of high, medium or low for the next step of scheduling into the entertainment program.
Under the Entertainment Program, two application and assessment processes were delivered concurrently, providing community members the opportunity to apply either as paid performers or volunteer performers. Paid performers were prioritised for program scheduling; of these applications, 67 applicants did not make it.
