Questions about our merch?

  • You can purchase our merchandise directly through our official website. As with most online stores, simply add the items you wish to buy to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout when you're ready.

    If you choose to pay via Vipps, you will receive a payment request within two days of placing your order.
    If you select card payment, a secure payment link will be sent to your email within the same timeframe.

    You will be notified by email or SMS when your order is ready for pickup at one of our designated locations.

  • All items sold or listed on this website are considered Longyearbyen Pride Official Merchandise.

    While we are happy to see local artists, souvenir shops, and businesses celebrate love and inclusion, revenue from their products does not go toward the official Pride event.

    We fully support these initiatives, but want to clarify that only sales made through our official channels contribute directly to the Longyearbyen Pride Festival.

  • Longyearbyen Pride has been organized by individuals and has no formal legal entity. This year, the festival is being organized by two individuals, making it crucial to separate event finances from personal finances.

    All payments are securely handled by Studio Salim Yuhe Fang (organization number: 829 068 192), a registered company owned by one of the organizers.

    While the company is also used for other business purposes, all transactions related to Pride are recorded separately with the assistance of a professional accounting firm.

    Longyearbyen Pride is a non-profit event. Although a private company processes payments, no profits from merchandise sales will be allocated to the organizers or the company itself. A complete financial report will be published after the conclusion of the 2025 event.

  • Profits from merchandise sales are used to fund events arranged by Longyearbyen Pride. This enables us to keep all events free and open to all. Any surplus from 2025 will be used to produce merchandise for Longyearbyen Pride 2026, supporting next year’s festival, regardless of who organizes it.

    By purchasing merchandise, you're not only taking home a special souvenir—you’re actively helping us sustain and grow Longyearbyen Pride.

    Are we paying performers?

    All performers and contributors for the Pride Concert 2025 and Midnight Sun Pride Party are compensated for their work. This is one of the main reasons we raise funds through merchandise sales.

    Although our events are and will remain free and inclusive, we are committed to supporting local artists and allies with proper payment.

    Why are you organizing a dinner with some of the funds?

    A small portion of the funds from merchandise sales will be used to host a thank-you dinner for the organizers, performers, and volunteers who contribute to Longyearbyen Pride.

    While our performers do receive payment, it is modest due to our limited budget. This dinner is an additional gesture of appreciation for their support. Our organizers and volunteers work entirely without pay, and we believe in acknowledging their dedication with something meaningful.

    The dinner will be hosted by one of our generous sponsors, helping us keep costs low while still offering a moment of togetherness and celebration for everyone involved.

  • Yes! We accept Vipps, bank cards, and contactless payments. Details will be provided both online and at physical points of sale.

  • Merchandise is currently available through our official website. We will also distribute items via selected local partners. Updates will be posted on our website and Facebook page.

  • Our merchandise was designed using AI tools in collaboration with the Longyearbyen Pride team. All designs are original, and the copyright belongs to Longyearbyen Pride.

  • Unfortunately, since Longyearbyen Pride is organized by private individuals, we have chosen not to accept individual donations due to taxation concerns. This is why we fundraise through merchandise sales.

    If you represent a company or organization and wish to support us, please get in touch—we would love to hear from you.
