2What the rule means for an entrant

A closed deadline is still useful: annual festivals tend to repeat their timetable, and last year's dates are a fair first guess for the next edition. The calendar lists every date in order.

Inclusion rule. Every festival on the register, with or without a detailed page on this rule. Order. Alphabetical by festival name.
