Hello all!
Would you like to showcase your talent at this year’s National Convention in New Orleans? The National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division excitedly presents this year’s Annual Showcase of Talent on Saturday, July 12th, from 8 PM to 11 PM, at the New Orleans Marriott!
Preregistration is now open through July 5th for up to 15 slots, and the remaining 10 slots will be available for registration at the National Convention from July 8th – July 11th.
Registration for performers is $10 per act, and family and friends can attend the show for $5.
Please keep your family-friendly performance between 2 minutes and 4 minutes in length, no longer, including any introductory remarks. We reserve the right to end performances that exceed the time limit, so please practice your performance with this in mind. Please limit yourself to one entry as a solo, part of a duet, group, etc. excluding accompanying others, to maximize participation. While all skill levels are welcome, there will be a judged competition with cash prizes for the winners. If you have previously won first in the Showcase, please refrain from entering again to allow others the chance to perform.
By submitting the form below, you agree that video footage and photos of your performance may be taken during the Showcase, and that this media may be used for Division promotional materials.
Be sure to also join us for our other events at Convention: Swing Dance Workshop on July 8, 6:30 - 8:00 PM and Division Meeting and Self-Advocacy Workshop on July 10, 1 – 5 PM.
