WAF 2027 Expression of Interest
Express your interest in taking part in WAF in June 2027. EOIs open Mon 2 November - Fri 18 December 2026.
Unlike other arts festivals, no-one’s in charge of deciding which shows get to take part. We don't have curators or programmers, and there are no themes or content criteria that artists have to fulfil when registering their show. Anyone with a story to tell and a venue to host them is invited to take part in the wonderful world of WAF.
Filling out an Expression of Interest form is a quick and easy way of letting us know your ideas, and signs you up to receive practical updates from festival producers, links to join the WAF Creatives Sessions, and reminders for upcoming deadlines.
You are only to committed to being part of WAF once you've confirmed the details of your event and officially paid and registered on our website
