Good point, Beer - also, themed presentations that either tie in with the Festival, an anniversary or similar - for instance, 2005 is the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot - now, if there was a Festival in November, and there were a range of songs which related to that, it might be really apt - it is also the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar

Organisers get inundated with people who present good quality material, so (speaking personally) something a bit different catches the eye - personally, I like something which includes some context to the material and a bit of research. Items that spring to mind are Danny & Joyce McLeod's presentations on Cicely Fox Smith, Liverpool Forebitter's similar work with the poems of John Masefield, Roaring Forties 'Icebound', which tells of the whaling fleet, when it got trapped in the ice of Baffin Bay and Barrie & Ingrid Temple's presentation on the Keel Men of the Tyne.

Something relating to where you come from or where you are aiming to play, or the time of year, rather than just a general repertoire, are the sort of things I like to hear about, and make you stand out from all the other submissions.
