SparqFest was originally written to support the operations of Minnesota WebFest well before COVID-19 forced them to look into holding an online event. Even if you are a purely in-person event, you certainly have the following challenges:

• Gathering exhibition copies from your filmmakers and other creators
• Collecting marketing information to help you create your print program and support other promotional efforts
• Maintain a festival schedule and create a single authoritative source of information for your festival attendees
• Judge selections for various festival awards

SparqFest does all of this and more with site themes for your public web site that reflect the needs of the in-person festival.
