SELECTION PROCESS
Submission does not guarantee representation at the festival. We strive for access and equity for all our schools. Schools who have not performed in the last two years will have priority. Our committee will do its best to ensure representation among Brooklyn’s 12 districts, including district 75. This is a competitive process, and though we would like to accept as many performances as possible, we are limited by time and space.
- A panel of NYC art educators will adjudicate all completed submissions.
- Adjudicators will use the Blueprint for Teaching and the Discipline-Specific Look-Fors in Dance, Choral Music, Instrumental Music, and Theater as guidelines for decision-making.
- Online application will close on April 1, 2021 at 12AM.
- Notifications will be emailed no later than April 24, 2021.
