Before submitting an application to run a sound camp, please read the following information carefully. You will be expected to follow all guidelines as stated herein. To apply for a sound camp, fill out the online application. We will contact you to inform you if your camp has been accepted or not. If you have questions regarding these guidelines or the application process, please contact Jessa or Dave at SoundCamp@EstheticEvolution.com

All sound camps must be pre-approved by May 15, 2010. No sound camp will be permitted to operate without submitting an application and being approved. This year we will be increasing the number of allowed camps to five (5), making it imperative that the below guidelines be followed.

Set-up for your sound camp must begin on Thursday, June 17 at 1pm and be completed by the end of the day. Esthetic Evolution reserves the right to place you where we feel your camp will best fit within the meadow’s overall plan. We will do our best to keep your preferences in mind while making these decisions and will let you know when you arrive for setup where you will be placed.

You may run the sound at your camp anytime between the hours of noon and 7:00 p.m. during Friday and Saturday. However, at 7:00 p.m. all sound must be turned off. There are no exceptions to this rule! You will not be able to run any sound before noon, as we would like to be considerate of those around you who may be still sleeping.

Since the meadow is relatively small and music can bleed from one sound camp to another, we ask that you keep your volume at a considerate level. This will guarantee that others at surrounding sound camps cannot hear your music. Please also only bring a small amount of sound (i.e. two DJ monitors and a sub) as this should be more than enough for your camp. Esthetic Evolution staff reserves the right to ask that you turn down your sound if we deem it necessary.

Sound camps are meant to be for everyone and therefore cannot be exclusionary. This means that you cannot close your camp or only make it available to a specific group of people. If you would like to operate a camp that will have a ‘no stranger’ policy (although we do not encourage you to do this) we suggest you leave your sound at home and setup a theme camp.

Sound camps should be fun, so the more attractions you have at your camp, the more likely it is that we will pick your camp to participate. Be creative in the attractions that you’ll have available at your camp, and be sure to be specific when filling out your application.

Your sound camp is fully YOUR responsibility. All sound, generators, DJ equipment, decorations and anything else featured there must be provided and maintained solely by you and your crew. The generators you bring must be clean burning, efficient and we’d prefer if they were silent as well. Placement of your generator needs to be thoughtful of the people camped around you. If you choose to share your generator with other art installations, Meadow Management can assist in placing your generator in the most desirable area. Esthetic Evolution and its partners are not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your camp being shut down immediately, and any future considerations for your sound camps terminated.
