<h3>Design Team</h3>
<p>In addition to the flags and beermats that may be familiar from the last EMF, for 2022 the new Design team
coordinates with other volunteers across EMF to help ensure the festival looks as cohesive and beautiful as possible,
from the website to the wristbands to backgrounds for the stages.</p>
<p>We’ve spelled out a few specific jobs we’d like to recruit for, but if you’d like to get involved in another
capacity please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!</p>
<p>Whatever role you might like to take we’ll do our best to inform and support you, so come and have fun making EMF
beautiful! </p>

<h4>Inflatable Tentacle Fabricators</h4>
<p>A sea-themed festival obviously needs some tentacles! Our prototyper has got us most of the way there with some
huge illuminated, animated, inflatable monstrosities, but we need volunteers to take over and take them to the
finish line. We’d like you to start from the plans for the prototype, finalise the design, work with our Lighting
team on the electronics and controls, and coordinate or carry out production of the final products. </p>

<p>This job would be ideal for two or three makers who live close together and are used to collaborating together.

Recruitment Brief</a></p>

<h4>General Sewists</h4>
<p>This year we’re using printed fabric as our main material and will need help to stitch our plans together. If you
have a sewing machine and are happy to sew a few metres of bunting, flags and signage in advance of the festival
please get in touch.</p>

<p>Individuals or groups welcome, we’ll ship materials to you and arrange collection or delivery of completed items.
</p>

<h4>General Fabricators</h4>
<p>We will want to build some odd items, so if you’re a hands-on fabricator able to get stuck in and solve problems in
functional and cost-effective ways please say Hi. The exact list of fabrication jobs are to be confirmed, but if you
give us an idea of your location, what skills and facilities are at your disposal and what your availability is
like, we’ll contact you if a suitable task comes up. </p>

<div id="logistics" class="well content-well">

structures, get to the right place at the right time.</p>

<h4>Logistics Team Second</h4>

<h3>Cybar Team - (NullSector)</h3>
<p>The team who built Null Sector in 2018 are doing something else this year, and looking for people to make it even
better. All these roles will be working with the team to build a consistent look and feel for the area.</p>

<h4>Graphic Designer</h4>
<p>Someone to take charge of the visual aspects of the area and make sure the set is authentic by providing consistent
signage, posters, logos, videos etc.</p>

<h4>Pre-Build in London</h4>
<p>We are looking for people who can spend time helping with all kinds of making and building in Battersea, London, from
now until the event. They should be able to travel to the workshop and ideally be able to spend full days (though less
is also useful). Tasks range from gluing and nailing wood, painting, cutting and wiring, sanding, screwing and
more.</p>

<h4>Teardown</h4>
<p>We’re looking for some people who know which end of drill to hold on to, and who preferably have some experience of
theatre or events construction to assist with tearing down Null Sector. You’ll need a willingness to
get involved in physical labour, and to deal with living on a building site for a few days.</p>

<h3>Content Team</h3>

<h4>Content Team Leads</h4>
<p>Ahead of the event the content team leads are responsible for making sure there's something to do once you arrive
at EMF, organising the talks, workshops, performances and installations around the site. They are responsible for
managing the content sub-teams and ensuring that all teams operate smoothly both in the run-up and during the event.
</p>
<p>In the run up to the event you should be able to commit to about 20 hours a month, particularly around the CfP
opening and closing.</p>

<h4>Outreach &amp; Communications</h4>
<p>The outreach team researches and gets in touch with people we’d like to speak, bring art, or run workshops. They
manage the process of finding &amp; inviting them, working out any needs they have, and handing over to the
logistics team to make sure everything is in place.</p>

<h4>Music Team Lead / Deputy</h4>
<p>Responsible for booking and organising all music at the event, along with artist relations. Artists are sourced
both from our Call for Participation, and by direct outreach. This position will be supported by the rest of the
Music Team.</p>
<p>This role will need to commit about 10 hours a month ahead of the event to find, contact, and book artists, as well
as working with your team.</p>

<h4>Music Team</h4>
<p>The music team arrange artists to play on the main stages each evening, and DJs for the Cybar dance floor. This
year we may also have additional performance spaces.</p>
<p>During the event the music team manage the stages each night, ensuring bands &amp; equipment are transported to
stages, bands are looked after, and stage times are adhered to.</p>
<p>While we have sound and lighting technicians available in our stage team, any experience in this area is helpful.
