Submission Form for Hosting a Theme Filk

NOTICE: Theme Filk slots for OVFF in 2024 are now full.
This page should be used only by those who are already scheduled to host a theme filk to fill out necessary information.

Thank you for your interest in hosting a Theme filk for OVFF. Theme filks typically start in the late evening on Friday, Saturday mid evening (8 PM), and Saturday nights (around 11 PM). We ask that you host for one hour with the expectation that the filk will change over to an open filk after that hour is up. It may go on well into the night beyond that. However, you have no obligation to stay after that first hour if you don't want to, or need to leave for some other reason. Due to the number of theme filk submissions we have received in the last couple years, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to add your theme filk to the schedule. We will contact you to confirm that we have received your submission when we receive it. We will contact you again closer to the con to let you know whether or not we can include your theme filk on the schedule.

Please fill out the following information:

Other notes and time restrictions. Please especially list any performances you might be a part of or any other workshops/theme filks/special events you will be involved with so we can avoid scheduling conflicts (we will try to honor your preferences as well, but no guarantees on that):

IMPORTANT:
If you have asked someone to "just help out" even in an unofficial capacity, we NEED to know this so that we don't schedule that person in 2 places at once.

Note that submitting this request does not guarantee that we will be able to place your theme filk on the schedule. We will respond to your request with a confirmation email once we know whether or not we are able to accept your request.
