Fortunately, nobody died. But the deadline for those applicants who needed Lithuanian visa support closed May 1, 2009. To our astonishment, heightened interest for MediaBarCamp was expressed this year. More than 270 applications from Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian and other-country barcampers have been received during the month. Participants’ selection, based on filled-in applications, was not an easy task to complete. But we have tried and done our best! All applicants received e-mails with results. Have you missed our letter in Inbox, look for it in Spam. The very address you have mentioned in the registration form was contacted, of course. Those approved participants who needed visa support were contacted in the first place.

Visa-obtainment procedure information will be available shortly. Haven’t got anything, don’t you worry; you’re in the pending list. To clear up the question of your MediaBarCamp attendance, we will contact you for sure till the end of May.

Travel grants’ high prices make the issue too painful. Particular post devoted to the topic will be published soon.

For Belarusian attendees return tickets (only train and bus) to Vilnius will be compensated by the organizers. In order to receive one way refunding, one will need an original ticket. Pay attention: to have your return journey compensated, you will need to have both your return ticket and a copy.

For Russian and Ukrainian attendees maximum ? 100 travel expenditures per person will be refunded. The sum is believed to be sufficient to get to Vilnius from Kyiv or Moscow. You are free to choose as comfort and quick way as you wish to, but in this case your travel expenditures will be compensated partly.

For attendees from other countries, apart from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, our Sweden partners regretfully fail to compensate travel expenses. If you obtain a travel grant by yourself, you can still become a participator, though. Not afraid of these conditions? Then contact us ASAP!

Thank you for your interest in MediaBarCamp 2009.
