Performer applications are now closed. Contact hello@highlight.community if you’d still like to participate.

How it works: Each performer/group will have :30 to 1hr (max) to do what they do best. The stage is yours! The platform is equipped for high-quality streaming and includes live chat and other features that allow you to connect with your audience. Visitors will access each stage through a unique URL. You can stream your performance from anywhere: your home, studio, or another unique locale.

We’ll provide technical and creative guidance to ensure that each performance goes off without a hitch. In addition, we have developed a payment system that empowers performers to generate money for themselves or for other charitable causes beyond the initial stipend of $125.

All performers/groups are also entered to win funding and support for creative projects in 2021. More details about awards, our panel of judges, and criteria will be announced soon, but here’s a glimpse:

• Financial grants up to $7,500
• Educational & career resources
• Art, music, & creative supplies
• Workspaces
• Recording studio sessions

Make sure to click the link above for the full application! Performers will be notified about their applications by Friday, December 4.
