About the application

Application Process for First Friday Events

 

This is a two-step application process for local schools and colleges in the BCS community who wish to participate in First Friday events.

 

Step 1: Partnership Application

Before applying for any specific event, you must first submit a one-time partnership application. This application does not apply to a specific First Friday.

 

  • Partnership applications must be submitted at least two months before the first event you wish to participate in.
    • Example: To apply for January First Friday, submit your partnership application by November 10th at 12:00 PM (Noon).
    • You will receive additional information on your partnership application by the 15th of the month. 
  • Applications submitted after the 10th of the month at 12:00 PM will NOT be reviewed until the 10th of the following month. 

So long as you remain an active partner of First Friday (applying to at least 1 First Friday each year) you will only need to complete the partnership application 1 time. If 12 months lapse without a First Friday application from you, you will need to resubmit a partnership application.

 

Becoming a partner of First Friday does not guarantee your participation in the event. Partnership only means you will be able to apply to participate in each event. 

 

Step 2: Monthly Event Applications

If your partnership application is approved, you will receive private application links for individual First Friday events by email.

 

You must submit a separate monthly event application for each First Friday event you wish to attend. These applications are approved on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend applying as soon as these open each month. Please note that spaces are limited and you may not be able to participate every month. 

  • Monthly First Friday applications open on the 1st of the month prior to the event you wish to participate in and close on the 10th of the month.
  • Example: Applications for August First Friday will open on July 1st at 12:00 PM and close on July 10th at 12:00 PM (Noon). 

Important Deadlines

  • The final deadline to submit a partnership application for 2026 is October 10th at 12:00 PM.
  • After this date, the earliest event you may be able to participate in is January 2027.
