Here’s how it works: if you are a contestant you must sign up for a qualifying round in one of the cities, or a qualifying round in Ten Sleep at the start of the festival (Sept 1). The benefit of signing up for a qualifying round is that you can perform locally. You can select to come straight to the final competition events in September, but space will be limited. All rounds will have professional judges to select the singer-songwriters who advance to the next round. When you attend the qualifying round, you will need to print out 40 copies of the 3 original songs you intend to perform, formatted onto double-sided 8x11 sheets, and bring them with you. Song titles must be submitted one week in advance to contact@wyomingsinger-songwriter.com. Show up 1 hour before the event to check-in and submit lyrics sheets for audience programs. Once you sign up, you will be emailed more specific instructions. But please reach out to our contact email if you have questions!
