Adding additional festivals

If you have already applied to steward in 2013, you can click here to login with your username and password and add additional festival applications.

Priority applicants who have not yet applied this year can also follow this link to log-in and apply.

Please note, when logging back into the application system you will not be able to see your previous applications. This is normal.



How to add another festival

You need to go back into the application form, and log on with your user name and password. All the information that you entered when you first applied will be present, so please check this thoroughly and make changes if any of it is out of date.

On Stage 3 you will need to resubmit your declaration about unspent criminal convictions. When you get to Stage 4, click on the name of the festival you want to apply for.

Please note:  On Stage 4, you will see the full list of festivals that can be applied for, including the ones you have already applied for. The form will not allow you to apply for them (as you it knows you've already applied) and it will show an error if you do try submit the same festival again.

Fill in all the relevant information for the festival you wish to apply for and click 'Submit'. Repeat this for each festival that you add. The information previously entered on Stage 6 will not be present. So in your first application if you:

  • selected that you had done training, select the relevant year again.
  • booked onto a training session tick 'I have already booked or attended a training session in 2012'.
  • ticked that you couldn't attend any of the sessions, select that again.

If you need to change the training session you are booked to attend because your first festival is now before your training session, please contact us at stewards@oxfam.org.uk explaining this. Please indicate which sessions you could attend, even if some of them are full, just in case we've received a cancellation. On Stage 7 you will be able to review and submit your application. If your application for further festival(s) has been successful, you will receive a confirmation email from Oxfam with the names of the festival(s) you have just added.

Please note: If you wait one working day from your first application, the application form will recognise that you have already paid and will not ask you for a second deposit. If you add a festival before lunchtime on the next working day after your initial application, the form will take you to the payment screen, and if you received the payment confirmation email for your first application, you are safe to close your browser now.
