The top 3 reasons shows are not accepted
There are many reasons why a showcase is not selected, but here are a few common issues.
- No Artists/Talent. Ideas are great, but we have to know what talent is associated with your event in order to move forward.
- Not enough information. We need as much information as possible before we can move forward with a showcase. Some applications simply do not provide enough information. If you don't have a lot of information yet, maybe hold off on the application until you do.
- Conflicting showcase concept already exists. If we have already accepted, or are in talks with, a showcase with a similar concept or idea, there is a good chance we will not produce a similar showcase.
- Nothing special or unique. We are looking for great ideas from around the world. What makes your show or event stand out from the crowd? What make it relevant this year? Help us understand the importance.
Showcase selections will be notified no later than September 1st.
A3C has a strict no pay-for-play policy. We do not work with promoters that charge artists a fee to perform.
