We are a group of students from various fields of study and semesters - the only thing we expect from you is that you have a desire to learn all about Årsfesten, are passionate about festivalplanning, and would like to get to know sweet people. We are a social group, and we place great emphasis on doing activities together. Our experience tells us that the better we know each other, the easier and more fun it is to work together. Although it all sounds fun and cozy, we shouldn't hide the fact that it entails a lot of work. Throughout the year, we are responsible for planning Årsfesten, and it sometimes requires blood, sweat, and tears, but it's all worth it! What do you do as part of Kamarillaen? During the year, you should expect to spend approximately two whole weekends, four joint meetings, and the entire week leading up to Årsfesten planning the execution of the party. Additionally, you will be part of two committees (udvalg) with which you will hold meetings, as agreed upon with the others in the committee. In Kamarillaen, we have nine internal committees: Bar, where you get the opportunity to negotiate contracts with suppliers, ensure volunteer bartenders, and influence the selection of beverages for the annual party. KÆP, responsible for art, events, and decoration. Here, the visual expression for the annual party is created and food stalls and events is chosen. KÆP ensures the overall physical design of the party. Music, in the first half of the year, scouts the danish music scene for cool performers, often by attending various concerts. Later, they handle contracts and all communication with bands. Hand Command is the committee that, in the week leading up to the annual celebration, ensures all the cool hands (volunteers) who come to help us. In Hand Command, an overview of all the tasks we need to have performed must be maintained while making sure our volunteers are enjoying their time with us. PR is responsible for all communication with our guests. This includes graphics and printing, social media, participation in events, ticket sales, website, etc. Here, one must be involved in laying out a PR strategy for all the information that needs to go out to the guests throughout the year. HR is responsible for all our internal meetings. They work in close collaboration with our chairpersonship to ensure and foster a good internal social environment. Ongoing workshops are planned for the rest of Kamarillaen, and coordination of how the year should unfold takes place. Safety is responsible for the overall security of the annual party. Security plans and risk assessments must be made. Security is also responsible for negotiating with, choosing and cooperating with the security company that assists us during the execution of the party. As part of Kamarillaen, you will gain experience in everything from security during a festival, concert management, bar logistics, volunteer management, and hands-on communication tasks. One thing is for sure, though: you will end each KAM year with your heart filled with new friendships. So whether you dream of getting to know new people from other fields of study, knowing how Benal prefers their sandwiches, or where the emergency exit should be placed, you can get it by being part of Kamarillaen.
