Just want to throw an idea out there, and see what peoples thoughts are.
Thanks to the the recession and lack of arts funding and all that, is getting us looking at more fundraising ideas . This one has prompted a lot of discussion within our committee, and we arent sure which way to proceed with it.
Basically, we thought of running a talent show. The thing is, a lot of the big ones in the area can offer things like paid theatre contracts, something that as a non-profit community group, we havent a chance of; but my thought was that instead of that, we could charge a small fee to enter which would possibly cover a nice promo photo, for each entrant (we have a couple of people trained as professional photographers on side), and contribute to a pot of prize money for the winner, .
But what do you guys think would be a feasable way of running this idea? And other ideas?
