*If you're a musician -- even if you incorporate storytelling in your set, please use this form

• Storyfort submissions are due by January 1, 2026. All applicants will be notified in late January.
• We will consider individual authors as well as panel presentations. In this submission form, tell us about yourself, your work, and your pitch for a panel, presentation, or reading at Storyfort 2026.
• All storytellers accepted to speak at Storyfort 2026 will be offered to speak at at least one 30-60 minute event to occur sometime over the 5 day span of the festival (March 25 - 29, 2026). All accepted artists will receive a 5-day festival wristband ($300 value per wristband), access to Treefort Artist Hospitality Lounge, eternal glory, and a bag of Storyfort goodies.
  
  Please note that if accepted, the information you submit here may be used on Treefort Music Fest's website and various marketing materials.
   
• Submission Fees — We have passionately kept our artist submissions FREE for the first 13 years of Treefort. Due to rising costs of the submission software, we are now pivoting to a new model. Submissions will be FREE until September 15th (30 days after opening). From September 15 - November 1, there will be a $10 fee per submission. After November 1, the fee will be $20 until submissions close on November 21. We appreciate you understanding that this is a big, but necessary step for us. You can email us at submissions@treefortmusicfest.com with any questions regarding this new policy. If you know anyone that would be interested in offsetting this cost as a financial sponsor, please have them email melissa@treefortmusicfest.com
