Application Process

Starting in October 2023 and continuing through April 2024, the NFA will offer a series of online events of interest to the flute community, presented by members of the NFA and its committees via Zoom. The NFA will launch an open application process whereby NFA members are eligible to submit proposals for one-hour (60-minutes) virtual sessions for the 2023-24 Online Event Series.

There will be two application rounds for the 2023-24 series. Each individual applicant and each NFA Committee may submit no more than two proposals per round. Round 1 opens May 2023 for sessions scheduled October - December 2023. The second round will open in September for sessions scheduled February – April 2024. 

Round 1 Application Deadline:  June 15, 2023 5:00PM Central US Time (You will be notified of session acceptance on July 20, 2023)


Eligibility


NFA membership is required for applicants, presenters, and panelists – with the exception of one special guest per event who may be exempt from NFA membership.

Please note that performances are not eligible. These sessions are for the shared exploration of a specific topic or participatory playing experience. 

Sessions which specifically promote a service, product or event will not be accepted.

Eligible session proposals meeting the following guidelines will be reviewed by a committee of NFA representatives. Selected events will be scheduled on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 PM Central US Time.
