By filling in a simple form you can sign-up to be an NTIF volunteer and even pick which area and shift you would prefer to work. We can make no guarantees, but early signup will improve your chances of getting your preferences. Volunteer signup is always open - but many of the prime shifts are now taken.

For each 3-hour shift worked you will receive a free beverage of your choice at the Festival. One 3-hour shift gets you free admission into the Festival on the day of your shift. Two or more 3-hour shifts get you free admission into the Festival on both days. Volunteers working two or more shifts receive a free NTIF souvenir T-shirt.
