Welcome to the 2026 Staten Island Borough Arts Festival - Performing Arts Submission System.   

• The 2026 Performing Arts Night will be Friday, May 1st, at 6:00 PM at the St. George Theater.
• Submission Deadline: 10:00 PM on February 13, 2026

*******************************************************************************************************************                   

Schools are invited to submit up to THREE high-quality performance pieces for consideration in any TWO categories: Dance, Chorus, Instrumental Music, Theater, or Musical Theater. To increase access and equity to all, ensembles that have not performed in the last two BAFs will be considered first.   A panel of performing arts professionals will jury the selections. In March, schools whose performing arts ensembles are selected will be notified and given further instructions. Due to space and time limitations, it is not possible to guarantee the representation of every school.                   Please complete this process for each performance/piece of repertoire you would like to submit (max of 3).
