NFMC Festival Eligibility
Each adult member of the Florida Federation may form a studio or group of students into what is known in the federation as a junior club. Those students are then eligible to participate in all Federation events, including the annual NFMC Festivals program. To ‘federate’ your students into a junior club, simply fill out and submit the form with annual required dues. In Florida, the deadline for federating a Junior Club is October 1. (Adult membership can be individual or through a local senior club. For options, check your district page and reach out directly to club officer.)
