Side A Post-Show Summary Process and New Application Requirements.

​

In complete transparency of our process, we have a post- show process. 

 

In order to move forward confidently and efficiently, we have a committee process in place, since the 2025 event , in house with a Quorum of 5 to make a decision how to proceed in choosing who will participate in Side A Record Show, hopefully to occur over the coming years .

 

First order of business

1. All vendors rent charges are the same according to the quantity of tables they applied for. Any suggestions otherwise will result in us taking action to the said participants. That will include suspension or expulsion from participating in future Side A events or legal action will be taken if the suggestion or accusation amount to defamation. 

2. Participants will honour the contract that  the participants had signed and not divulged  the confidential information to the public or to other vendors of Side A. It is against the confidentiality contract that they sign. This is important to protect the integrity of the agreement. And their acknowledgement that if they were to break that confidentiality, which includes revealing the rent fee to the public or other vendors, the setup process and knowingly caused disharmony by way of unsubstantiated claims, bullying tactics, toxic behaviour among the vendors , will result in the organisers rescinding that contract and a suspension or exclusion from future participation of Side A Record Show. The non disclosure that came in the contract will still be in effect even after the Side A event. If we feel there’s a case of defamation against any individual ( Mosta Records team, management, other vendors, partners or sponsors) , who prime purpose is to undermine our company and the individuals who work and managing team with Mosta Records and the event Side A Record Show , we will pursue the matter legally. 

 

Future applicants 

Consequent applicants of Side A Record Show will have to apply in a specific timeline , to be decided. 

No one is guaranteed a space. 

 

Post Show Curated Summary Process 

 

During the record show, we will make our observations for the whole day about everything. Post-show, we will discuss immediately and make a consensus on a variety of topics and issues about the whole show, the performance and behaviour of the participants in particular , for both setup and event day. This “audition process” for all vendors is of the utmost importance for the organising committee. Then we will make a final decision based from our discussions and investigations. Once we make our decision, we will not change it for any reasons. 

All our reasons are confidential and will not be disclosed. 

Our decision are final. 

 

New application requirements 

​

All application will be subjected to a shortlisting process. 

And these new requirements was decided, due to the flagrant disregard of the previous requirements for the past 3 events. We don’t take too kindly to people who tried “ to be too clever “ in their description of the products they are bringing and failed to fulfil what they promised to bring. 

Wasting the availability of the official crates will not be tolerated. What will also not be tolerated if there are disruptive behaviour, bullying tactics and undermining fellow participants that will harm the harmony of the vendors pool. Reports of these kind we take very seriously and that will inform  our decision moving forward.

We will not let one bad apple situation to ruin what the organisers and the Quorum of 5 had cultivated over the years, which is a civil and harmonious atmosphere. 

If we find anyone who fail to comply, we will consider your application nullified. 

 

You will be chosen based in what you can contribute to the harmony of the vendors pool and your added value to the show based on the products that you can offer. 

The main concentration of products should be physical media such as vinyl records, cassettes or CDs . No one should be selling accessories as the majority product showcase , except for our official partners which we had chosen. Failure to understand the requirements will result in the cancellation of the application. 

All these are the official requirements for all applicants. 

 

No special treatment/ favouritism

 

There is no special treatment for anyone or any applicants . Any accusation of the sort, especially if there's any prejudicial inclinations in the accusations, will result in us taking legal action against the said individual, organisation or group. 

 

Shorlisted applicants

Shortlisted applicant list for Side A will  be announced in a post on Instagram and Facebook. No comments are allowed. All applicants will be subjected to the same requirements stated above. Priority had been removed to open it to any potential vendors from all over.

​

All decisions are final and non negotiable. No new applicants beyond the application timeline. They will be no appeal. 

 

Respect our rules, regulations and standards. All applications should be applied via email.
