VTBF’s New England Themed Burlesque Competition

Here’s how it works.

 

Those who want to compete:

Come up with a burlesque act that has a New England theme to it.  Pop Culture, History, Politics, Local Culture, Food, Religion, Etc Etc… As long as it’s got a tie to New England and is performed within the genre of burlesque, the act qualifies. 

    

Up to 12 submissions will be incorporated into the Vermont Burlesque Festival.  VTBF producers will choose what they feel are the top 12 submissions.  If selected, your entire act will become public and it will become part of the event.  Keeping in line with our traditional way of judging the winner of this competition, the audience decides via on-line voting/polling.  Winner will be revealed during the event

 

What the winner receives:

 

• $500 Cash Prize

• An invitation to defend their title at succeeding festival.  

• Travel stipend of $200 for the succeeding festival. 

• 1 Night of Lodging during for the succeeding festival.
