Step by step: How does the profile registration work and how do I submit my idea to the Call for Participation?

 

 

Important: You can only submit a proposal once you are registered with a profile. Please note that your CfP contributions can only be accepted if you have completely filled out your profile by the respective deadline:

August 6, 2023 (23:59)

Step 1:   Update the profile or register a new account

a) You have been a speaker at a re:publica before and already have an account? Then you can log in here with your profile name or your registered email address and update your profile if necessary. For you, please continue with Step 2.

b) You are not registered yet? Then please proceed as follows:

  • Provide a working email address. This is the only way we can send you important information, such as feedback and/or questions about your submission. Note: Your email address will not be published. You can have your profile deleted at any time.
  • Choose a profile name (TIP: If you choose a combination of your first and last name, we can find you better in case of queries).
  • Click on the button "Create new account". A welcome message with further instructions will be sent directly to your email address.
  • The link is active for a limited time. (Depending on your email provider it can take up to 15 minutes until you receive the link (Attention: valid only once!). Please also check your spam folder if necessary). Once you have received the link, click on it to activate it and then click on the "Sign up" button. Then you will be on the page where you can set your password and fill in your profile details.

Please fill out your profile completely.
We recommend that you have the information requested in the mandatory fields ready, such as the photo in the correct size (max. 800 KB). Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

  • Enter your first name ("Name") and last name ("Last  name/Alias/Collective/Group). If you are more than one contributor of a group/collective, you can also leave the "Name" field blank and enter the name of your group or collective) 
  • Upload a photo of yourself. Please take into account the specified dimensions for your photo:
    • 800 KB limit → We can recommend you this tool for image compression.

  • Your Twitter, Instagram, TikTok handle or other related links that introduce you and your work can optionally be added
  • A balanced, diverse event is very important to us. By filling out the statistical information on origin, gender, and year of birth, you are making it measurable for us to see if we are succeeding.
  • Please tick the box "Consent to be contacted". This will allow us to contact you as part of the CfP process and in preparation in advance of your session.
  • Please enter a working mobile number - of yourself or of a person we can contact you in urgent cases, e.g. on festival days.

  • Finally, you can select the language setting (German or English) and your time zone, so that dates and times of the website are displayed for your selected time zone.
  • Save everything and voilà - done.

Step 3: And now the most important: Submit a session

  • First of all, read the CfP Guidelines.
  • For detailed information on how to submit, see the FAQ, including "What distinguishes a good session?" and "What is the maximum length of the description text for my submission/session?".

  • Read through the CfP form so that you can fill in all mandatory fields marked with a red star and have already received the important tips.

Did you read the CfP Guidelines?

Then please click on "Save" and tadaa: you did it! Your proposal has arrived!

Once you have saved your session and you see it in your dashboard ("My Dashboard"), the programme team will be able to view it as well.

Not much time?
Click "Save" in between, you can continue later. That's no problem. But: By the deadline of the CfP, the session must be completed incl. all contributors!
Please note: You can log back in at any time and edit your session until the deadline. To do so, go to the website: https://re-publica.com/en/user/login. 

All this is no witchcraft: as long as this description is, so brief is the process.

Step 4: Add contributors

If you are planning a session with multiple contributors, each person must create a profile and enter their profile name.

Click on "Add another item" in the "Participants" section of the CfP form to add another person field.

Then enter the profile name in the "speakers/ performers / artists " field and wait for the autocomplete to search for the profile name in our database.

Step 5: Finally - logout.
