If
you're a Folk Fest veteran, you know that a lot of great music
can be heard around the camp on Friday and Saturday night as
friends and family gather around the campfire. So, a while back we decided
to give all of those musicians a chance to compete to be heard
by the entire Folk Festival crowd!
Acoustic vocal and/or instrumental solo, duo, and group acts are welcome. The Plain Label Stringband
and Thomas Hentges will judge the acts during the
break
on
Saturday afternoon. The winning act will have 15 minutes
to play their hearts out in front
of the
crazed Saturday night crowd and OPEN for the big closing
set!
The winning act will also receive $32.32 and original Headly Eyesore artwork signed by Headley himself! Note: In order to make the contest more about having fun
and to put less pressure on the judges,
we've decided to not have "large" cash prizes.
If
you'd like to enter the contest, please send an email which
describes your music along with
contact information to info@fotm.org
and include "FOLK MUSIC CONTEST" in the subject line.
The contest is only open to paying guests of the festival.
Board members and family of board members are not eligible.
