What is Showcasing?

A juried showcase is when an artist is selected by a committee, usually including presenters, agents, and artists, to perform a sample of their performance in front of conference attendees. This sample is most often 12-15 minutes long and should give the audience an idea of what your full-length show would entail. Your showcase will be performed on a stage that is equipped for performers of all genres including dance, full bands, solo artists, comedians, theatre, variety and more. In order to be considered for a showcasing opportunity, you must first submit to showcase when our call for artists is announced. To submit to showcase at our 2021 Conference please check back in February of 2021 or sign up for our email list for personalized alerts.
