How to Register
Registration is a two step process:
1) Fill out our registration form. At any time during lottery registration, fill out our online form. We'll ask you questions about housing and food preferences, scholarship and travel grant requests, whether you'd like to register in a party with others, etc.
At the close of lottery registration, if we have more people registered in the Youth or Young-at-Heart category than we have space to admit, we will hold a lottery for that category and return results by October 9th. If you don't get in during the lottery, we'll add you to our waitlist in the order that your name was drawn during the lottery. Read more about the lottery, and about why we switched from first-come first-serve to lottery admission.
2) Confirm and pay. If you got in, we'll send an email letting you know (including how much scholarship we're able to offer you, if you applied). We'll ask you to pay within a week to hold your spot, either online or by check. As always, you can contact registration@youthtradsong.org if you need to arrange an alternate payment plan. Once we've confirmed your payment, you'll be officially registered. You can also purchase T-shirts at that time. Here's our 2018 t-shirt design:

Scholarships and Travel Grants
YTS strives to be an accessible event for singers in a variety of financial situations. Limited scholarships and travel grants are available. Scholarships for up to $120 are available, and may be supplemented by travel grants for singers who face significant travel expenses (such as plane fare). You can apply for a scholarship or travel grant while filling out the registration form. When you’re admitted to the weekend, we’ll tell you how much scholarship we’re able to offer. If it’s not enough to enable you to attend, let us know and we’ll (regretfully) give away your spot.
Until November 15, you may cancel your registration and get a full refund. From November 15 to December 31 you may cancel your registration, but you will only get a refund if we are able to fill your spot from the waitlist. After December 31 we aren't able to guarantee refunds. In case of last-minute extenuating circumstances (severe illness or weather-related travel issues), contact registration@youthtradsong.org to talk about options for a partial refund.
Community is important to us and we would like everybody to have a fully immersive experience. We encourage all who are able to commit to attending for the full weekend. Therefore, we are offering only a limited number of day passes.
If you have financial need, please apply for a weekend scholarship. Day passes are intended for individuals with work, parenting/family, or other obligations that would prevent them from attending the entire weekend. Please note that you may either register for the full weekend or apply for a day pass — not both.
A day pass costs $80. As a day guest, you will be invited to attend YTS on Saturday only, from 9am through the end of our evening Open Mic concert, approximately 9pm. Lunch and dinner are included.
Day pass applications will be accepted until December 15, but we’ll give priority to applications received by October 1. We will consider applications on a case-by-case basis. To apply for a day pass, please fill out the regular registration form at the link at the top of this page, writing "day pass" in any spaces that ask about housing/roommates or any spaces that seem appropriate. Email registration@youthtradsong.org with any questions.
