Common Questions

Does it cost to register an event in the festival?

No, it's completely free to register an event.

Are there micro-grants this year?

Yes, our regional micro-grant round is run in partnership with the RAA and the Murrayland and Riverlands Landscape Board. Learn more at http://naturefestival.org.au/micro-grants

What am I responsible for? Do I need insurance?

Yes, we require you to have your own insurance and you are wholly responsible for your event. We are merely listing your event. You can review our Host Terms and Conditions here.

Do I have to use Nature Festival's ticketing system?

Yes, you must use our system to register your event. If you have questions about this, feel free to email help@naturefestival.org.au. Our online program is integrated with Humanitix, and you will be able to login at any time to edit your event, manage tickets, add custom questions (food preferences), export attendees, etc.

Also, except for the standard Humanitix fees, you will keep all proceeds from your event--Nature Festival will not take a fee. Humanitix will pay your earnings directly into your bank account within 30 days of the event (but hopefully sooner).

Does Nature Festival take a booking fee?

Nature Festival does not take a fee.

However, as part of our intent to be net-positive for nature, in 2025 we are experimenting with a $1 donation that will be automatically added in checkout on top of your ticket price.

The donation will NOT go to the Nature Festival but instead it will be sent to a conservation partner aligned with our theme. In 2025 this partner is the Murray-Darling Conservation Alliance.

Your earnings will be paid directly from Humanitix into your bank account after your event has concluded.

I need to change my event information

Easy, just log into Humanitix and make any changes you want. If you've already published the event, you'll need to scroll up to the events section and press the Sync website button to make sure that the changes show up.

The one notable exception is the ticket price that's displayed on our website. If you want to change that, you'll need to contact us at hello@naturefestival.org.au and we'll do it for you.

How is the festival being promoted?

We have a great marketing and PR campaign planned including posters, bus shelter ads, and lots of online and social media advertising. We should reach hundreds of thousands of South Australians.

But we're also all depending on each other! The more each event host promotes their event, the more the rest of the events benefit. We've prepared a promotional pack for you with email, poster, and social media templates that you can customise and use to spread the word through your own email lists.

When is the last day to register my event?

In order to take full advantage of our media and PR with the launch of the festival program, we need your event submitted by July 31st.

This is not a hard close, and we will continue to accept events until Sept 1st. However, late events will miss out on many of the benefits of the marketing campaign.

Who organises the festival?

We are a small team working part-time who are passionate about changing our society's relationship to nature in a way that is bigger than partisan divides. We believe a relationship to nature is an important part of a good life for all people and that it should be as diverse and creative as we all are.
‍
In terms of funding, we run a lean ship, primarily funded by a variety of partners and sponsors, all listed on our About page and down in the footer.

Troubleshooting Humanitix

I got confused and created my event directly in Humanitix.

If you're trying to create an additional event, you'll need to come back to this host portal and fill out the form and then wait a second time for us to give you access.

Events have to be created through our portal first so that they'll show up on the website properly. Please DO NOT create events directly in Humanitix.

I've published my event on Humanitix, but I can't see it on the website.

Go to the "Your events" tab and hit 'submit to program.'

There is then a manual check we do to make sure everything looks good, which may take up to 48 hours.

My event is self-guided, when should I set the start/end time?

If your event is an online resource that is self-guided, set the start time as the beginning of the festival: 9am on Sept 26th and the end time as 11pm on Oct 12th.

Make sure that tickets stay 'on-sale' until the end of the festival.
