Hey @spacewam, genuinely thank you for the kind offer. I do understand why people would want this but I feel this changes things for people. Unfortunately we still live in a world with prejudice and idiocy and that makes people concerned for their privacy. Cameras also turn people into performers and that puts a burden on them too.
This year I just want people to relax and enjoy without any concerns in their heads.
I hope that makes sense to people?
We'll talk more about photography rules (because people will want to take / get photos of themselves and friends for the memories) in a later post.
Huge thank you @naughtyjim for your organisational efforts, but especially for making the event free and taking on the cost. When we talk about diversity and accessibility, we sometimes forget to include poor people, and it's a bugbear of mine. This Messtival is praxis.
Thanks for your kind words. This is something very close to my heart too!
At this point I'd like to invite messtival to share with me in thanking my friend of ~17 years @easy_as_ . Totally unexpected from me, he has made a significant contribution to the event which has allowed us to push the envelope in terms of what we can do at this event. We would not have the event we have without him. Thanks buddy! You're a star!

Total understanding mate. Area where take pictures or something like that . Understand people keep private. Also help me post stuff on instgram
2. We need volunteers to get messy! So the plan is:
- As each award is announced the top 3 contenders will have their clips shown.
- Each clip will have a representative (either from the producer themselves or a stand-in if they can't make it due to the Atlantic Ocean or absence).
- When the winner is announced the representative of that category will receive "something representative of that category" , so that we can all enjoy ourselves whilst the producer comes to the stage to receive their trophy and give their speech!
SO, volunteers to the front! If you'd like to get messed up (possibly by the fabulous and glamorous Bri!) then now's your chance! You'd be selflessly doing us all a favour, obvs! DM me or post here let me know if you're up for it!
A huge cap doffing to naughtyjim for all the hard work in organising this.
So many great scenes and people in each category, it's gonna be hard to vote.
Unfortunately, I'm gutted (more gutted than a tuna in the John West factory), I will not be able to attend, due to having to go into hospital on the Friday (27th). Nothing too major (I have faith they know what they're doing hee hee).
I hope that everyone that does attend has an amazing time, and I know it'll be a wondrous event.
And remember who ever wins or doesn't, each and everyone of you is special, because together we make the best, messiest community in the world

Ticket booked and happy to volunteer to get messy.
I'm absoultey honoured to have been nominated in the best perfomer category and the Rev Slymsford film that I'm in is up for two nominations!
Im not a regular forum poster, but i do like messy fun, which my profile attests too! You are all welcome to look at my profile which has both me in it and my photography of models.
If you like it please vote for me!
Unfortunately, I do have a prior commitment on the 28th September, so I will not be able to attend.
I have just clocked that this is all going on - what a lovely thing! Definitely working on getting there but haven't confirmed a booking yet. I'd love to stand in on the queer category, just a question of whether ball gown or summer dress.
spacewam said: also don't mind volunteers getting messy but what going on before come? like, do bring change cloths and so on !
Yes! Anyone getting messy should bring a change of clothes!
