Copyright
The Inverclyde Music Festival is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society. This means that entrants do not have to seek copyright permission for any poetry, prose or solo dramatic items performed, to a time limit of 10 minutes.
Performers and teachers will be delighted to know that their participation in the Festival means that authors will be directly reimbursed as a consequence of their work being performed at this Festival.
Duologues and group dramatic activity are not covered by this agreement, and copyright for these items should be sought by performers at the time of entry. Solo dramatic items must be announced with title and author at the time of performance to qualify for copyright indemnity, and the performer must not change the words or gender of the character.
All performances using music from shows in current production are subject to copyright law.
Songs from shows in current production may be sung as a concert item, i.e. with no costume or movement without need for copyright permission.
Where movement or costume are included in a performance, copyright permission is required and the Festival Committee accepts these entries on the basis that the appropriate copyright permission has been sought.
Performers or teachers with queries on how to obtain copyright permission for performance items should contact Festivals House on 0870 7744290 before making their entries.
Recording and Photography
The use of video, audio recording equipment or flash photography is not permitted during performances.
This includes the use of smart phones.
Safeguarding Policy
Inverclyde Music Festival has a Safeguarding Policy approved by the British and International Federation of Festivals. It aims to inform and involve parents, guardians, carers and teachers in partnership in order to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, a safe environment at the Festival. Competing groups must be accompanied by the correct ratio of supervisory adults.
Details of the policy are attached to the Syllabus and the policy can be downloaded below. Sponsors must sign on the Entry Form that they have read this policy and have informed the parents / carers of those that they are sponsoring of the policy contents.
Sponsors will be informed of the date, time and venue of the class(es) entered. Particular attention will be drawn to the requirement that, where parents, guardians or carers are not personally attending with their children, it is the sponsor's responsibility to ensure that their children are accompanied and adequately supervised at the Festival by responsible adults acting on their behalf.
Festival personnel will be chosen by the Committee and during the Festival all Committee Members and volunteers will be identified by the wearing of suitable badges.
Anyone wearing a badge can be approached and will be able to give directions to someone who will deal with any question or problem.
