Attention, please!

This week has been all about the art of grabbing attention. In a little less than two weeks, ISFiT will welcome about one hundred new volunteers (yay!), and the past couple of weeks have seen everyone doing their utmost to get the best possible candidates to apply. How did we do it?

First,we lured them in with the one thing any student in their right mind can't refuse: free coffee.

Capturing their attention was really the easiest part, because all we had to do then was talk about what a great thing ISFiT is, and that's easy. After ten minutes, we'd managed to convince quite a lot of people to apply.

The next step in our evil brilliant plan was to get as many people as possible to come to our info meeting. Quite a lot of people showed up.

Not to question anyone's motives, but this time we bribed them with free cake.

Hopefully, most of them turned up because they wanted to learn more about ISFiT, but the cake probably didn't hurt.

On the day of the appliaction deadline, we pulled out all the stops and recruited our very own superheroes to do some last-minute work.

Okay, maybe they're not actual superheroes, but they wear lycra and they have capes, and that's as close to the definition of superhero you can get without actual, you know, superpowers. And even if they don't have x-ray vision or the ability to fly, they did a brilliant job of dancing all over campus to promote ISFiT.

And now we wait. The applications are in, and soon we'll have a bunch of newly recruited volunteers ready to make ISFiT 2013 the best festival yet. Spoiler alert: we're very excited!
