TRAVEL

The POY’s travel expenses to and from performances/events organized by/for FFN chapters are covered by a travel grant from FFN to the POY.

ARRANGEMENTS

Working directly with the POY, the host chapter is responsible for:

• Confirmation of the approximately 45-minute (or less) performance time, date and place
• Artist honorarium/performance fee of $400, paid directly to the POY
• POY’s local/ground transportation
• Overnight hosting/accommodations (may be at a hotel or a chapter member’s residence) 
• Physical arrangements such as audio/visual, sound system or other staging needs at the performance site, to be confirmed with the POY

NOTE: Chapters may charge an admission fee to help cover the cost of the POY appearance and/or workshop.

ADVERTISING

FFN may provide photos, a press release and a flyer/mini poster (8.5″ x 11″) to promote your event. Host chapters are encouraged to print additional copies of the flyer for posting and distribution to promote the event locally.

Hosting chapters will make every effort to attract audiences to the performance, within and also beyond the Finnish-American community.

PUBLICITY

The host chapter will promote/advertise the POY appearance within its community. High and low resolution photos of the POY are available, as is a press release that may be adapted and customized to the appearance.

PROGRAM FLYERS

Ask about a quantity of the 8.5″x11″ POY flyer from FFN to assist with promotion and for distribution at the performance.

We can provide you with a photo and information to assist you in creating your own promotional materials. If you need assistance, please contact Minea Lindqvist Herwitz at communications@finlandiafoundation.org.
