Register for Fertile Ground 2025

Registration for a single project or title is $135. If you are planning to produce multiple projects/titles under the same producing organization or individual artist, you may register additional titles for $25 each. We do not want any producer to pay more than $310 for Festival participation, so on the online registration form, you will only be able to register up to 8 projects, capping your registration fee at $310. If you have more than 8 projects or titles to register, please proceed with registering your first 8 and email fgregistration@portlandtheatre.com to get your final titles registered at no additional cost.

If the $135 registration fee is prohibitive for you or your organization, we do have limited work-trade registration spots available. In this arrangement, you/your organization agrees to work 10 volunteer hours in front of house or concessions at one of our Fertile Ground Partner Venues (21Ten, CoHo, Back Door) in exchange for a single registration. Please contact Festival Director Tamara Carroll if you would like to explore the work-trade registration opportunity.

We are working to make Fertile Ground registration as simple as possible! For the 2025 Festival, only basic information is required in order to register; you will be asked to provide further details and promotional assets once regular registration closes on December 31st.
