Clarksville, TN – As the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic continues to have a widespread impact, the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department is adapting the traditional three-day Riverfest celebration into nearly two weeks of in-person and virtual events.
The Riverfest Virtual Talent Competition is included in the lineup of events, and only one week remains for contest entries.
Participants have until August 26th, 2020 to complete an online application that includes a video of their performance that is no more than four minutes in length.
Finalists will be selected on August 27th by a diverse panel of judges.
Final videos will be posted online September 1st-11th for the public to vote on their favorite. The winner will be announced on September 12th and will perform before the Riverfest 2021 headliner.
“We know Clarksville has talented people in every corner,” said Kara Zahn, Event Planning Supervisor for Clarksville Parks and Recreation. “This is a great opportunity to showcase those talents and possibly perform in front of thousands of people next year!”
The 5 finalists videos will be reshot and produced by the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department once selected.
