Why Be A Part Of On The Rocks?
\n\n
\n\nOn the Rocks has built a great reputation over the past years, and being a part of it will bring you together with other like-minded artistic individuals, as well as providing you with a base of experienced committee members who will support you and make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the application process and the Festival itself. Last year we facilitated 32 events
\n
\nWe will help you publicise through our swanky programmes/posters/flyers and we have a press team that will help spread the word in local publications. We will also be selling tickets for you.

\n\nWhat Can I Put On?
\n\n
\n\nWe welcome any form of creativity and want to encourage as many groups as possible to get involved. We are looking for drama, music, photography, art, dance, film, food and whatever else you can think of! Don’t be scared to approach us with an idea that’s a bit different, we like different and we like original. Alternatively, if you are looking to collaborate with others or another group/society, let us know and we can help you out.

\n\nGetting Started
\n\n
\n\nYou’ve formed an idea of what you’d like to do and you’ve decided you would like to apply to be a part of On the Rocks.
\n\n\n\n
All events are self-funded, so before your application is sent in you must make sure you have funding in place. We encourage students to go through societies or sub-committees to help with funding (Mermaids Performing Arts Fund, Music is Love etc.) Each event will also get to keep their profit, however we charge a £20 fee for all events that charge for entry.
\n\n
\nUnfortunately, we cannot accept every application. Therefore, once the deadline has passed a selection process will take place. We look for original applications with realistic (if ambitious) goals and strong financial backing, as well as a well-balanced programme as a whole.
\n
\nWe're here to help you through every step of the process.
\n
\nThe committee will be on hand to support you throughout the process, and to link you up with societies that may be interested in supporting your event.
\n\nevent applications for otr 2019 are now closed
