2021 submissions to Melbourne Cabaret Festival

Apply to perform in the 2021 Melbourne Cabaret Festival, Wed 16 to Sun 27 June
Things to note before you submit:

- due to the recent propensity of State Governments to close borders, we're preferencing submissions from Victorian-based performers this year.

- diversity and quality are our two key programming tenants.

- while tribute-style shows have their place, we have a soft spot for original songwriting.

- we supply and cover the costs for the venue (Chapel Off Chapel - both spaces), all the techs and front of house staff, quality pianos, and conduct an extensive marketing campaign. Aside from having these costs covered you receive a generous door split.

- if we don't know you, a video link is highly recommended. It doesn't need to be high quality footage - just enough for us to gauge your suitability for the festival.

- your show needs to no more than 60 minutes with no intermission to enable fast turnarounds.

- once we confirm a season we'll send you another form to fill out to obtain all technical information we need for your show. You'll have access to current equipment at the venue.

- all enquiries must come through us, not the venue.
