- One questionnaire per festival, one festival per questionnaire.
- send us your questionnaire only once, even if your festival is to appear in more than one directory (ex. festivals with classical music AND jazz), before the earliest applicable deadline.
- We only accept registration info sent by email; we will not retrieve it from the web, press releases, print material or fax.
- After we receive your questionnaire, you will get a reply, and this will be your last chance to make corrections to your info.
- Canadian Music Festivals: see extra instructions below.
- Festivals who were listed last year:
- If you were in our directories last year, you will probably receive an email from us with your questionnaire info from last year. You may use that email to update your info for 2010. But there are fields above new to this year.
- If you have not received it yet, please just send all the info requested above to guides@lascena.org, and put the subject "Festival XYZ - registration 2010" (Festival XYZ being the name of your festival, of course).

- as always, all concert listings received (whether classical or not, whether festival or not) for Canada will appear in our web calendar.
- as always, all concerts in QC and Ottawa region (including within festivals) will appear in LSM's Regional Calendar for the period covered by that issue (what does this mean?)
- only the summer classical music festivals directory/calendar will have concert listings (that's why it's a directory/calendar and not just a directory)
- To make this directory/calendar, WE will combine your questionnaire info (sent to the directories department) with your concert listings (sent to the free calendars department).
- concert listings for all other festivals will be available in the web calendar only.
| how to send your concert listings |
- The procedure and required format have not changed since 2000. See instructions in the free calendars section.
- Send the listings of ALL your concerts for the whole festival, from first to last, even if it starts before or ends after the period of the print calendar (since we also have a web calendar).
- There are late fees of $10 per concert for the magazine calendars. (see our deadlines)
- Do not send your concert listings to the same address as the questionnaire, they are two unrelated departments. The procedure for sending concert listings is independent of the procedure for registering your festival.
- If you don't know the email address for sending your concert listings, click here.
- We reserve the right to refuse any text which does not meet our formatting requirements.

| definitions |
- LSM = the magazine about music that covers the province of QC and the Ottawa region, quasi monthly
- La Scena = the magazine about arts other than music, quarterly
- festival directory: list of festivals, by order of region first, then by alphabetical order; each festival has the general info received by way of the questionnaire described below
- calendar: a list of events (concerts, lectures, workshops, etc.) in chronological order, with full details for each concert (date, time, place, contents, participants, etc.)
- festival directory/calendar: a text which is both a festival directory and a festival calendar
- This year, we will publish only one festival directory/calendar, the one for summer classical music festivals in Canada.
- spring = april, may
- summer = june, july, august, early september
- arts festivals = festivals on dance, theatre, cinema, visual arts, etc.? (any art other than music)
- non-classical music = jazz, world music, folk (we do not cover pop, rock, country)
- the same festival can have classical and non-classical music, or can have music and other art forms; therefore the same festival can be listed in more than one directory.
