With gratitude to Rich Warren for organizing the event this year and to all our beloved DJs for participating! It’s going to be a terrific night of music.

the Selection Process

• FARM invites DJs to select a performer for the showcase.
• The showcase coordinators will compile a list of artists who would like to be considered; however, DJs are not required to select from this list.
• Because we’re trying to raise awareness of FARM, DJs are encouraged to recruit an artist who they believe could benefit from the experience and exposure – preferably one who has never attended FARM.
• The performer may not have performed in any prior FARM Official Showcase or DJ / Venue Showcase.
• Selected artists MUST register for the entire conference. (Remember that registration is discounted for all first-timers.)

Please use the submission form below to indicate your interest in being considered for the showcase.

Deadline for submission was August 10.
