Participation Guidelines:
FusionFest is a cultural education and engagement experience, not a sales or promotional opportunity. The purpose of each participating organization’s space is to educate attendees and celebrate cultural heritage through interactive displays, artifacts, demonstrations, stories, traditions, and conversation.
Sales are not permitted. Participating organizations cannot sell merchandise, food, products, services, tickets, memberships, or other items from their FusionFest space.
Commercial promotion is not permitted. The space cannot be used to advertise, promote, or solicit business for any company, business, product, or service.
Company promotion is not permitted. Organizations cannot use their cultural display or activities to promote, advertise, endorse, or generate business for a company or commercial entity.
Political promotion is not permitted. Political campaigning, partisan political materials, political endorsements, political advertising, or political solicitation cannot be displayed, distributed, or conducted within the participating organization’s space.Nonprofit organizations may share information about their own mission and cultural work, provided that the information supports the educational and cultural purpose of the experience and does not become a sales, fundraising, commercial, or political activity.
All displays, materials, and activities must be family-friendly, respectful, inclusive, and appropriate for FusionFest’s diverse audience.
By submitting an application, the participating organization agrees to follow these guidelines and understands that participation is contingent upon maintaining the cultural, educational, and interactive purpose of the festival.
Our goal is to create spaces where attendees can discover cultures through meaningful experiences, not through sales or promotion.
