Showcase Confirmation Form
2025 Folk Music Ontario Conference

Congratulations on being selected to perform in an Official Showcase at the 39th annual Folk Music Ontario Conference presented by Folk Canada, taking place October 15-19, 2025, at the Delta Hotels Ottawa City Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

PLEASE USE THIS FORM TO CONFIRM YOUR SHOWCASE: We would like you to please confirm that you are still available for this opportunity and will be able to attend the conference.

If we have not received a confirmation from you by Friday, June 20th at 5:00pm EST, we will begin inviting performers from the alternates list to fill your official showcase spot.

Confidentiality: Please DO NOT announce or share this news until we send you your showcase promotion package. This information is not public, and not all of the applicants have been notified yet.

Respectful Workplace Policy: Please review this document before filling out this form.

Showcases: We hope to offer each Official Showcase Artist two opportunities to perform during the conference. One will be your Official Showcase, which can take place on daytime and evening stages, the other will be considered a Spotlight or Private Showcase, taking place in the daytime, late evening, Ontario Folk Music Awards gala, or Community Folk Fest concert. We hope that multiple opportunities to perform will give you a chance to build up some buzz and additional visibility during the event.

Official Showcases are 20 minutes, and will include full technical production, a line check, and a 10-min changeover between acts.

Spotlight Showcases are typically 15-20 minutes, and will include full technical production, and a 5-10min changeover between acts.

Private Showcases are typically 15 minutes, and take place on Saturday night after the Official Showcases have concluded. These are acoustic showcases that take place in hotel rooms on a specially reserved guest room floor.

Community Folk Fest Performances take place in venues outside of the conference area, and are open to the public.
