The 2002 Rose of Tralee International Festival (the 44th)
ran from 23rd to 27th August inclusive, scroll to the end
of this page for a full events listing.
2003
Rose Entrants
Planning of the 2003 Rose Finalists selections starts as early
as November in our various International Centres. We will
keep you updated on Centres events in the Press Room page.
Aspiring 2003 Roses can apply for inclusion by contacting
the Centre nearest to where you reside (see Centres page).
Eligibility criteria include being aged between 18 and 26
years, not being married or having children and being of Irish
descent - full details from your Centre.
2003
Escort Entrants
To be an Escort you must be aged between 20 and 30 years.
Registration of an expression of interest can be made to the
Festival Office (see Contact Us page). Application forms will
be available in the New Year. For more information see Escorts
Page.
Entertainment/Performers
If you are a band or entertainer and would like to perform
at the 2003 Festival then send us your details (see Contact
Us page).
Ideas/Suggestions/Volunteers
If you have any ideas or suggestions about things you'd like
to see included in next year's Festival please let us know.
If you have any proposals for projects/events you'd like included
as part of the Festival, we'd love to hear from you. Or last,
but definitely not least, if you would like to offer your
services/time gratis we would be most appreciative. Ours is
a voluntary organisation we do not operate on a profit-making
basis, rather we use our funding to promote Tralee and Kerry
nationally and internationally. Accordingly, we depend on
a huge voluntary contribution and community involvement. So
whether you're an individual, a community group or an organisation
your help would be most welcome.
