​Technology Can Be Daunting. We’re Here to Help.

If creating a video presentation has kept you from sending a submission for ReadOut 2022, let us know. ​Submit your application without a video by Monday, November 1, 2021, and send us an email with the subject line: HELP to readoutfestival@gmail.com.

A sample submission and a tutorial are available to illustrate what is needed.
