Great post! A couple of other points worth mentioning. If there is a deadline,be sure to turn your application in on time! A lot of show promoters and co-ordinators have an application deadline for a reason and you’re not doing them a favor by trying to sneak your application in after the due date. Point number, two…don’t be a diva. It’s alright to politely request some things within reason, but if your request is denied or you if you act as though your name starts with “Queen of”, then you’re just going to get a reputation as a big pain in the butt. This industry is pretty small and remember…people talk!
