Unsilent Night is a copyrighted work of
art and we want to be sure that Phil Kline’s rights as an artist are respected and
your presentations conform to some basic guidelines that we have set up.
2009 Guidelines
·
Contracts
This year we are going to be sending contracts to
you with detailed terms for presenting Unsilent Night. Please review your
contract and return your signed copies to us as soon as possible. We’ve tried
to keep the contract as simple and straightforward as possible—don’t let the
legalese scare you. If you have any questions about it, send them to us at unsilentnight@gmail.com
·
Fees
and admission
Presenters may not charge admission for
participation in Unsilent Night. For some events, there may be a presenter’s fee.
All the terms will appear in your contract.
·
Promotion,
advertising and presentation
All promotional materials, websites, press releases,
posters and fliers must clearly refer to the work as Phil Kline’s
Unsilent Night
at least once, presumably the first time it’s mentioned. If possible, please send pdfs of your
promotional materials and website urls to us at unsilentnight@gmail.com
We will supply a description of the event which can
be used as a model or incorporated directly into your materials.
Your presentation of Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night should adhere to the
directions in our “How-To” guide, posted at UnsilentNight.com. If you would like to introduce another element
into an Unsilent Night presentation, permission must be granted by Phil Kline.
·
Use
of music
Cassettes, CDs and mp3s of the Unsilent Night music are protected by
copyright. Beginning this year, 2009, we will provide a link where the mp3s can
be downloaded until the time of the last scheduled event, rather than have
individual presenters post their own links.
These are just a few presentation guidelines to
help maintain the integrity of the event as it travels through the world. We know that each individual city or
town’s Unsilent Night will be as different and unique as the place where it’s held, and
that’s what makes it so special. Of course, if you have specific questions please contact us at unsilentnight@gmail.com.
Thanks very much for your interest in Phil
Kline’s Unsilent Night, and we look forward to working with you.
Thanks!
Phil Kline's Unsilent Night
