How can I perform at WOMADelaide?
Refer to the Want to perform at WOMADelaide? form. Please note that applications have now closed for the 2008 festival.

How do I get a stall?
The festival selects around 100 stalls each year (45 food, 35 crafts and 20 display). Please note that WOMADelaide has a capacity of 20,000 people per day, so stallholders with extensive experience, including work at other large-scale events and festivals, are considered favourably. Vans selling hot chips, Dagwood Dogs etc are not suitable, as the food on offer at the festival is of an international, gourmet nature. Stall selection takes place in November and all applicants will be notified of the outcome by mid-December. Applications have now closed for 2008.

Healing Village:
The Healing Village for 2008 has been fully curated and we are no longer taking expressions of interest.

How can I volunteer at the festival?
We use around 80 volunteers, and start approaching people who have done it before in December. Volunteers receive a Festival Pass giving access to Botanic Park (not backstage) and a souvenir t-shirt. They work at the Info Booth, on the bike racks, during the set-up and pack-up, and occasionally on special projects. Please note that the festival has a team of established and experienced interpreters, artist minders and publicity assistants who work backstage - these positions are not available to the wider public.

Volunteers must be over 18 and resident in Adelaide. Email us between April and December to apply, attaching your resume and outlining any previous volunteering or festivals experience. For voluntary bar work, click here.
