Frequently asked questions

What is The Fabulous! Festival?

It’s a blog carnival that focuses on the topics of shopping, fashion, beauty and personal style. Each edition features fabulous posts on those topics. Bloggers submit links to their posts here and the host for that edition picks their favorites to feature on their blog via a list of links.

Why should you host or submit entries?

Whether you host an edition or just submit your best posts, the festival provides free publicity that will bring more people to your blog.

What does a host do?

A host receives the submissions via email, picks their favorites, then displays them on their blog on the day that the edition is supposed to come out. While these aren’t strict criteria, featured entries should be well-written and generally worth reading (i.e. particularly interesting and/or helpful). Hosts can be creative when displaying featured entries, though you aren’t required to be.

Some editions have a theme, like ‘hats’ or ‘travel’, and they are generally chosen by the host. If you want to host and have a particular theme, run it by me. Provided that it’s approved, I’ll announce it and also tell the host for the previous edition so that we can get submission on that theme. Typically, we don’t exclude posts that just because it’s not about the theme, but theme-related posts are more likely to be featured with all else being equal.

Who can be a host?

If you have a blog, you could be a host. Technically, you don’t even have to be a fashion or beauty blogger. However, that doesn’t mean that I will choose just anyone. Go ahead and ask, though.

Will people see my email address?

Because we use Blog Carnival, people will not see your email address when they submit entries. I will need it to give to Blog Carnival, but I haven’t had or heard of any privacy problems.

When is The Fabulous! Festival?

Right now, new editions come out on the first Monday of the month. The official deadline for submissions is the Friday before (but sometimes it gets a bit fudged).
