The Hempstalk Stage Committee is announcing the 5th Annual Hempstalk Talent Search. The winner of the contest will take home a $420.00 prize and perform at our event.
Why we are holding this contest: Over the past few years, we have had hundreds of requests to perform at our festival. This is always the hardest part of the festival to make the act list decisions. The talent search competition is a great way for the Hempstalk Stage Committee to see what music the Hempstalk community enjoys and has served as a valuable tool. The contest has also created increased exposure for a plethora of talented performers throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Past year’s winners include Moe Davis and Britaney Baldwin, Vancouver, Washington’s “The Sindicate” and back to back champion Sacramento’s “Arden Park Roots”.
How the contest will work: Hempstalk Facebook Page fans are going to choose one act to perform at our festival. The act with the most “Likes” on our page will get the opportunity to perform in front of thousands on our Jack Herer Memorial Stage during the weekend (time, duration & day TBD). The top act secures their spot and prize, and other top acts will be considered for the event.
How to enter: Submit your best family friendly song, comedy act, or performance to the Hempstalk Facebook Page to be added to the list of entrants. You may submit by sending us an email at booking@hempstalk.org or writing on our wall with the link to a specific song (Youtube, Soundcloud, Reverb Nation). We will then submit an official link for fans to begin voting. It’s that simple. Recommend, Promote, Like. Our staff will do our best to post your submission to our wall in a timely manner, it is usually online within 72 hours.
Contest ends: July 31, 2016. The winner will be notified by the Hempstalk Stage Committee by August 1, 2016.
