Endorsed Events are subject to Endorsement Fees. These fees are paid to the respective Area in which the Event occurs. Endorsement Fees are calculated as follows:
1-99 paid registrants – $0.75 per registrant per day
100-499 paid registrants – $1.00 per registrant per day
500+ paid registrants – $1.50 per registrant per day
Performance/Livestream Licensing: Event organizers are responsible to contact the publisher of each piece being performed or livestreamed to secure the appropriate licenses or permissions to perform. The cost for the mechanical licenses varies from publisher to publisher, but generally fees range from $0 – $70. Licenses to perform are an important step in providing royalties to composers.
