2026 Video Showcase Application/Fee

2026 Video Showcase Application

Video Showcasing will complement our Live Showcase activities during our Convention in Wenatchee, WA on October 22 – 24, 2026. This program will give service members whose acts cannot be showcased on stage at the convention the opportunity to present a short video to Convention delegates alongside traditional live showcase acts.

Rules for Video Showcases:

  • A copy of the video to be showcased must accompany the video showcase application.
  • Videos Must be no longer than a maximum of 3 minutes in length. Any application accompanied by a video over three minutes in length will automatically be rejected.
  • Videos must be submitted on a USB Drive, or via a functional link to a downloadable copy of the video file (Dropbox or other similar services will allow us to download a copy of the video. You Tube will NOT). The file must be in a .avi, MPG, or .MOV format. Minimum screen resolution of 720 x 480 is required. If your act is selected, you will need to submit the video on a USB drive for the Video Showcase Presentation during Convention.
  • At each Meal featuring a showcase, there will be an emcee to introduce live acts, who will also direct the audience’s attention to your video. Video showcases will be presented to the convention delegates between live acts, allowing stage technicians time to reset the stage for the next live act.
  • To submit a video, you must be a member in good standing of the WSFA or join the WSFA on acceptance of your video.
  • Video Showcase applications will be reviewed by the showcase committee, who will select the successful applicants. After selection, service members may not change which video they are to display, without prior approval from the showcase committee.
  • The application fee of $25.00 or $35.00 for non-members must be submitted with your application. If selected by the showcase committee, an additional Video Showcase Fee of $100.00 must be paid before October 1, 2026, or you will forfeit your Video Showcase Spot. Those who submit a video showcase and are non-members of WSFA must join if they are selected to showcase.
  • Applications are due by Monday, August 31. 2026.
